You betcha! There are many amplifiers made in Asia, though as you approach the high-end they do tend to come more from the US for a variety of reasons -- not the least of which are the cost factors related to sheer physical weight that I mentioned previously.

Indeed, that makes the case for why one would presume that the Outlaws could sell the 950 for less than their amplifiers.

Your original comment a few posts back seemed to wonder why they can sell the 950 for less than the amps, and I'll I'm barking to say is that you need to look no further than the cost of one vs. the other to see why. Forget about who makes it, or where they make it. Forget about how much they make or how much might be saved by choice of manufacturer or the other items being discussed here. The guts of a heavy-duty, high-end amp such as the Outlaws is gonna cost more than the guts of the 950.

ARF ARF, says Iggy -- but what do I know, I'm only a dog.
