I live in Sweden and for me it isn't that important if it's made in Germany, use, Canada or whatever. I avoid products being made in china since it's impossible to have a good quality control then. it's a myth products not made in china has poor value, often it's the opposite, especially with speakers, high quality speakers last longer and sound better. ELAC make their high quality speakers in Germany and their budget speakers in china, their quality control seams to pay of in both sound and durability.

lets take two speakers A,B. speaker A is made in Germany for the prize $5000 while speaker B is made in china for the prize $4000, if speaker B lasts 5 years and speaker A during 15 years until you sell it for $1000 which speaker has been most expensive to own?
