    Oh, so you are not sure but making an assumption about LSi-15's being made in China. Ok.

    No, I wasn't making an assumption.

    If I remember correctly, all four boxes that my LSi15's came in said the same thing. MADE IN CHINA.

    Why does it matter? The R & D, engineering, testing, modeling and customer support is all done in Baltimore. Assembly is done in China and I would imagine the actual manufacturing of drivers is done in China as well.

    Since you like detailed responses and no one said exactly where in China, I thought you'd want to know that they are assembled in the Onehunglow province, which is near Phatphuck on the river Poopoonugget.

    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA:D

    I think I saw that somewhere on the box too!

    IMO; You should be thankful they were made in China, otherwise the speakers would of cost you at least double the price. Check out any American made speaker and see how much you pay for it. H9 hit it straight on the head, there is nothing wrong with the speaker being manufactured in China.
