I was told the same thing last week. They are made in Canada. Im sure some parts come from Asia but final assembly is in Canada.

I believe woofers and tweeters are manufactured in China, but everything else is designed and assembled in Canada. It shouldn't matter who manufactured the parts as long as the QC is up to highest standard, just to give you an example...Onix Rocket and HSU Research have their speakers manufactured and assembled in China as well.

The below post will show you an Axiom Tour that our dear friend Chesseroo recently attended. It is possible that the drivers are made elsewhere, but I'm sure to Axiom's specs, most speaker mfg's done build the drivers. The rest of the mfg processes and tests are done at Axiom. Like you, I was also concerned, but this is no doubt the best puchase I've made in a long long time.

Please don't tell me to take it to the politics thread, because I didn't start this.

I'm not picking on Ben in particular here, but I do want to challenge the idea that the only consideration in a purchasing decision should be value in your pocket. Often, doing "the right thing" is neither the cheapest nor easiest alternative. So, when I say "you", I am not addressing Ben specifically, but individuals in the reading audience.

Do you think it "doesn't matter" to the Americans and Canadians that are out of work? I try very hard to NOT buy anything from China, because every dollar we export to other countries is a dollar that is not being spent in our communities. It may not "matter" from a pure consumer or technology point of view, but it sure as heck DOES matter to our neighbors and communities.

Do you think it "matters" to the SVS employees in Ohio that I chose to buy their product instead of Hsu? Do you think it "matters" to Axiom employees that I chose to buy their product instead of Rockets? In each case, the country of manufacture was a contributing factor to me. I prefer my economic decisions to benefit communities that share my values - a position that adds greatly to my "pride of ownership".

While I'd like to make this issue matter to others, I lack the macroeconomic savvy to convey a compelling case. But it does matter a great deal to me, and to thousands of other consumers and union members who perceive that our national security is inextricably intertwined with our economic security as manifested in escalating trade deficits.

If you can get comparable quality and help support living-wage jobs in your community, why would you export your purchasing power to subsidize poverty-level jobs half way around the world?

Amen to that!

If you consider the effects your choices have on other people -- not just people in other countries but your neighbors and countrymen as well -- a whole new world of responsiblity opens up.

It's a complicated, intertwined world, but it's the only one we've got.

To whom it may concern:

heh...maybe you ought to turn around the keyboard you're typing now, and the mouse, and monitor, and read the label, yup...they're made in China, perhaps you ought to trash them and go out and buy some Made in Canada or Made in USA stuff. Oh by the way, PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!! if you are really concern about this nation's economy and the well being of local factory workers, and gung-ho about supporting the economy of your country, then trash your TV, Microwave, gaming machine, hair dryer, your kid's toy, and any other electronics and house ware made in 3rd World Country. What? no way? I thought so!! If you still want to support that kind of idea, Don't sing it, DO IT!! :-) You guys are too funny. LOL
