Part of the challenge for a company like Outlaw comes from their size and structure. Outlaw doesn't own any manufacturing facilities. They partner with other companies that do own manufacturing facilities. I think that Anthem builds their processors in Canada (which is one reason the Statement D2 lists for just shy of $7,000), but I doubt they are eager to hire out their facilities. I don't know where Lexicon builds the MC-12 (which, last I checked, runs about twice the cost of a D2 if you get room correction and HDMI). There's not really anybody else I can think of who might have domestic manufacturing facilities that are set up to build a surround processor or receiver. With Outlaw's manufacturing motto , that makes it hard for Outlaw to build processors state-side.

I'd like to see Outlaw build more domestically, but to be honest I'm impressed that they build as much as they do. Their partnership with ATI (who builds amps in California for a number of companies) has produced a long-running series of very good multichannel amps that have all been built here in the US. Their speakers are built domestically, as well, although the subs are built overseas. When you add up the products they currently sell that have the "Outlaw" name on the front, eight are built in the US (six amps and two speakers) and eight are built overseas (two processors, one amp, three subs, and an assortment of cables).
