Where are the resistors, transistors, power supplies and wires sourced from? What about the screws?

;-)

Well said.

Dunlavy speakers were made here in colorado springs. I dont know if they were 100% U.S. built.

VMPS speakers are 95% made in the U.S. according to the designer/owner/builder Brian Cheney.
A few parts are imported because that's the only place to get them, but the rest is U.S.
The only exception I know of is the RM30 speaker, which has the cabinet made overseas.
Our VMPS RM2 speakers were made right here in the U.S., cabinet included. And the sound quality
is simply world-class, and for a price that makes the cost of most other "high-end" speakers
laughable by comparison. VMPS is the SVS of main speakers, IMO, superb quality and performance
for a fantastic price. This applies to their ribbon stand mounted monitors all the way up to their
large ribbon floorstanding models. All of which share the same basic sonic character and quality.

There is Ohm Acoustics, an American made speaker company that while not that well known makes some impressive products!

Shawn C: Those Legacy Helix speakers look awfully cool.

talking to some speaker reps (one of them a manufacturer) the parts are not entirely available from the US (pole pieces are no longer made in the US as well as some other small parts) but truthfully unless your concerned about helping the US worker it doesn't make a better quality speaker

I have Ascend Acoustics speakers and they have a plaque on the rear of the speaker which says, "Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the U.S.A." As for where the components originate, I couldn't say.

A lot of Infinity speakers are made in Mexico.

I just bought Klipsch Reference line speakers so I have the boxes still siting in front of me. The only thing I could find on the boxes was, Manufactured in Hope, AR. Coporate office in indianapolis, IN.
Looked on the speakers themselves, couldnt find anything and also found nothing in the manuel.
You sure they are made in Mexico??

The Audax drivers are French.

 

[Eddie Horton]

Thanks for the info, Chris.

 

[Michael Lankton]

RBH are made in Utah, but not sure about their drivers

Here's a link to the regs:

VERY few companies can make the claim . . . including ACI.

 

[Shane Martin]

So the 5% of the cabinet built in China? Last I checked AV123's company builds them.

 

[Eric Ha]

My Adire Audio 281's were built in my house in IL.

 

[Kenneth Harden]

Ohhh, can't forget Wilson Audio - Mormon Made! (Provo, Utah, 50 miles south of Salt Lake)

 

[Paul Chalk]

Wilson Audio speakers, made with Focal (French) drivers.

 

[Chris Quinn]

This is nearly a year old thread. At least three of these companies now get their cabinets from overseas.
