[QUOTE="denim, post: 6729582, member: 545441"] [B]There is an element that I think a few people are over looking, and that is quality control. In many overseas build houses, they are pushing out massive quantities of amplifiers everyday. In many cases their testing and quality control is very limited and very rushed, mostly due to the speed that they are producing at causes this. Where as smaller, albeit more expensive, American built amplifiers such as ZED and Lunar, their testing and QC procedures are far more in depth and time consuming. Does this show up in price? Yes. Does this show up in end quality? Almost always.[/B] [B] [/B] [B]Then you may have an exception like Sundown, where the amplifiers are built overseas, but they are tested again in North Carolina before they are sent out to dealers or customers. Many brands don't do that, they just accept that what was done at the point of assembly was enough.[/B] [/QUOTE]
