I agree with Jagdeep. Definitely sounds like a mission to protect the incredibly inflated prices of the American and European manufacturers.
I have one Chinese component in my system, the Ming DA 2A3 preamp and it is the real deal. It is the only component I did not pay an arm and a leg for and it is not only equal to the rest of the system but maybe better than some components. As Jagdeep said, I own Avalon Osiris (American) speakers, CAT JL2 amp (American), Accustic Arts Drive 1 MK2 (German), Accustic Arts tubed DAC (German) and the Acoustics Revive RTP-6 PLC (Japanese). The price versus quality is hugely in favor of the Chinese but they are not exactly paying their workforce union scale wages. Be that as it may, I would venture to say that a system of comparable sound quality could be put together with Chinese products for a quarter or less than systems manufactured elsewhere.
