Interesting post but isn't nearly all hi-fi multi-national - and all the better for that?
You mention Parasound as US made, but by coincidence I visited their site yesterday (about a ?21 I believe) and found it was built "under license". What that means I don't know - or care. If a products is good, buy it, whether made in US or UK or China or Japan. Where was your car built?
You mention US horns, but surely the best horns are from Germany? Who cares if it sounds fantastic?
I'm in UK but I've bought lots of North American products. Some I like - Mark Levinson and NAD (which was originally British, now Canadian) and some less so - Benchmark and Martin Logan. I've had other fantastic kit designed in UK but now constructed in China (Quad), entirely British (Art Audio, ATC, KEF, etc) or entirely Chinese (Consonance), Danish (GamuT), French (Micromega), German (Avantgarge), Japanese (Accuphase), etc but I choose by what I think will suit my preference not by the label showing where it was soldered together, although I need it to have good local after sales support.
Would I buy a US-built car - not likely (nor a British one for that matter), but you build a lot of good hi-fi as we do - some of which is Chinese-constructed to keep costs realistic.
