I'll keep an eye out for the 978, but ...


Made by the same people who make the Marantz stuff. I'm trying to hold out for gear that's not made in China.


The 4311CI and A100 are still coming from Japan. The AV7005 has indeed shifted production from Japan to China. A dealer friend of mine said that since the AV7005 is now coming from China, it is only a matter of time before the 4311CI/A100 comes from there too. But since the A100 is an "anniversary" type thing, maybe they will stop production on those entirely before the switch. One reason why I didn't want to wait any longer for the 978: I wanted to make sure I got an A100 from Japan. May not matter for some people, but it matters to me. smile

The 978 will almost certainly be coming from China.
