Jonathan – There's no need to insult
me or anyone else on the forum. You may think of me as you wish, but
I made quite valid points and if you had actually read and responded
to them, then you could have inputed something more than just calling
me a snob.
I lived in London for 5 ½ years, which
is probably far more multicultural than any city in Australia. I met
and befriended people from almost every country in the world, and as
mentioned I had flatmates from China, Japan, Cameroon, France,
England, Italy, many countries in that time period. I learned about
their cultures, customs, etc... Actually I found that the Chinese I
knew were probably the ones most disappointed in Chinese quality.
W5bno123 – Quality control is not
only about whether an item is DOA or not. And one is already a lot to
be had in just one show room, especially for such a new item. Quality
control is a lot more than whether the speaker works or not though...
I am sure if you asked B&O why they
don't outsource their higher end products I bet you they will say
that it is exactly for the reason of keeping them at a high standard
and high quality with hand assembly, etc... They will give you the
same reasons that other high end manufacturers give. Again if China
is so amazing at manufacturing then why don't ALL high end brands
(especially a/v brands) manufacture in China?
And in that case if the BS8 and Beolit
12 match the quality of the higher end products according to Moxxey,
Jonathan, Folkdeejay, and others... then why doesn't B&O build
everything in China? Hell that way they will never have money
problems... Why does B&O keep most of their production at Europe
still?
Why do you guys think that you know
better than the directors, CEOs, product managers and other people in
high end manufacturing companies that don't outsource? I listed the
reasons in the previous posts and yet you argue that those reasons
are not valid... In that case then why don't you answer a simple
question as to why all high end products are not outsourced? In fact
most professional and high end products are not, especially in A/V...
Or maybe you guys think that B&O is not a high end A/V
manufacturer?
