I went to the AP website to try and learn more about the amp in question. Not alot of info there beyond the owners manual. No third party tests or any reviews. Maybe they are too new for all that? Don't know. What I was struck by is that on the AP Home page is an announcement proclaiming their new line of amplifiers as being "Built in Korea!"

Now, I do know that many of the better brands are built in Korea nowadays but, how sad is it that companies actually feel the need to brag about something like that???

Things certainly have changed.

somerset... wtf lol. awesomeness.

Well how about built in the USA? Braggin is braggin and everyone does it. Hell, some companies even try to pull a fast one by having "designed" in the USA on their amps. No different really.

Indeed. People drool over "Made in USA" like it really means something. Most of the products are made with imported parts anyway.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
