What are the chances "we" are looking at the woofers magnet? Maybe the woofer itself is US made ??
Anyone recognize the structure ??
Looking over the web site, they sure have a boatload of speakers listed.

That was cheezy. Maybe they use them in the Vatican, since it is so holy :-)

Post by: Steve M Smith on April 09, 2014, 04:08:36 AM: A few years ago in a guitar magazine, I saw an advertisement for a Fender amplifier with the line "Proudly Made in the USA".

The picture showed a pair of glowing valves/tubes with "Made in Russia" printed on them.

Fenders answer?

Yes we made that nameplate in the USA...

My dad tells of products from Japan that used to be labelled "Made in USA" (which is a place in Japan) that would occasionally accidentally get periods placed between the letters. No deceit there.

The chinese do this type of thing all the time.. it's not illegal over there..
Fendar, Gibsun, for example.. most folks see that as Fender and Gibson.. until they loko close.
