I don't know anything about the current status of TacT. That's too bad if they've fallen on hard times as I was always pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of their room correction.

As for Emotiva and shipping jobs to China, I hear ya. I've been looking at the higher end Onkyo AVR's that are made in Malaysia as part of my often fruitless effort to avoid products manufactured in China. I'm not sure if I'd call Emo's pricing strategy "dumping". If they can build and sell their products and make a profit, more power to 'em. Ultimately, competition benefits the consumer.

Best,
