Are Tannoy (part of the US Harman Group) made in China?

I believed that to be the case but my Legacy Ardens were apparently 'manufactured in the UK'. I thought the Scottish factory had shut down and production moved to China?Originally Posted by Barry

Sadly there will be some Chinese made chips in my TV and in my car, but I knowingly avoid/boycott ostensible Chinese goods. A few have slipped throught the net: some kitchen utensils bought from IKEA, and my 'North Face' outdoor jacket was made in China.
I remember the days when if something said it was 'Made in [insert country here]' then it was actually made there. Nowadays almost everything is built in China with a sticker on it that suggests otherwise, if only because the head office is somewhere else.
Bosch being a primary one for that.
Even AEG are Swedish! I'd bet any money they manufacture in China.

Certainly all the better known and top of the range Tannoys are made in the UK. Some mid range models such as the Mercury are made in China, and the MX2 is made in Malaysia.
The question is whether "made" means assembled using UK sourced components, or assembled using local sourced components. This a problem Quad have had with their amplifiers. After joining the IAG, the whole group was sold to a Chinese partnership. Items such as the amplifiers continued to be made (assembled) in China using UK sourced components, but after a while, capacitors sourced from within China were used in their place, to the detriment of sound quality.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Bit of a toy but solar powered (actually goes to sleep when put away, wakes up and hands reset when brought out into the light)
