Merhaba!

I think all Polk's are made in China. I was in Izmir, Turkey for 2 years (1992-1994) working for NATO. Welcome brother!

Cheap labor..............they moved from USA to Mexico to China over the years.

Don't worry, they're just pluckin' around.

[steveinaz]

Apologies Kumadam.

Guys, lets try not to be arrogant Americans. It makes us all look bad. Turks are a very proud, good people. If you have a Turk for a friend, you have a friend for life.

They are very sensitive about respect for their culture and country (as we are), and I understand completey; just as we wouldn't like a foreigner coming on here making "American" jokes...right? I lived in Turkey..(which, by the way, is the way we incorrectly say it...it's actually Tur-kee-ya in Turkish) and these are wonderful people. I treasure the memories I had in my time there. These are hard working, friendly people that would give you the shirt off their back---very much like Americans; which probably explains our good relationship with them.

Again, sorry Kumadam...

[ESavinon]

They don't come with a sense of humor there?

I think we were just joking around.

In any event, welcome to the forum. We like to tell jokes here from time to time. Have fun.

Good friend of mine married a turkish girl. I was his best man on their wedding in Ankara but unfortunately didn't have time to see Istanbul. Next time. Now they are back in Finland but I met many Turks here in DFW that I still keep in touch. Very nice and friendly people! Welcome to the forum!

[Frank Z]

Welcome! A little humor among friends. Feel free to give a little grief as well.

Kumadam, in America, that is what is known as a "Freudian slip".

.....or a one-track mind.

.....or both. :)

You'll find the Turkish folk saying, "Havlayan kopek isirmaz" applies here.

Have some fun !

Welcome to the forum.

Polk stopped making their speakers in the USA many, many years ago. For nearly the past decade they have been made in Mexico, switching to China 2-3 years ago.

The main reason for the move is of course, inexpensive labor and lack of costly restrictions/laws for factories. Build quality and sound quality have not changed.

Seriously, no harm was intended towards you, kumadam. We make fun of ourselves more than anything/anyone else.

It's been said here, to just about everyone that has joined CP, that thick skin is almost a prerequisite.

Anyways, welcome to CP. Hope that you stick around and get your audio learn on.

Arrogant American:o

Exactly. There are different people here who represent different cultures, but share a common interest in audio...stick around for a while and enjoy learning new things

I have many fond memories of my port visits to Izmir and Antalya Turkey in 1989 and 1991 courtesy of the US Navy. I also have fond memories of drinking "Raki" and experiencing why it is referred to as "Tigers Milk" !!
