My concern has nothing to do with the economics of manufacturing offshore - and everything to do with not supporting China in any way, shape or form.

Unlike most of the Mall Wart mentality, I'm even willing to pay more, even significantly more, to buy from somewhere other than China.

Malaysia sounds good to me (at least in comparison to China.) So an Onkyo PRSC886P at $1600 versus an Outlaw 997 at $1399 (less the $100 discount for Model 950 owners)? That would be $300 very well spent in my books.
