The SVS is sitting in my main HT - along with three other powered subs (2 Velodyne and 1 B&W.)

I was looking at the LFM for use in another room - where its size and performance (and price) would be more in line with the rest of the gear in that room.

I'm not so deluded as to believe that I can avoid anything that's made in China. Yes they are going to supply components. But if the OEMs stop manufacturing (and assembling) in China the percentage of components parts that are likewise made in China will drop as well. Besides, without the OEMs providing them with their latest and greatest designs (and methods etc.) the Chinese will be forced (more so than they are now) into stealing the technology that they use - and this will keep them behind the curve. Many an OEM has seen their design exiting another Chinese plant before it leaves the one he thought he was doing business with.
