My sister got married in Richmond Virginia in '09 and I have cousins there and Petersburgh but I've only driven through WV on the way to
Richmond but I have met quite a few West Virgians here in Columbus. Yep, Columbus By Way of Las Vegas; Reason for my handle (Picture).
West Virginia... Some great driving roads there!😁

I'm an automotive audio and acoustic engineer. I design loudspeakers and full sound systems for new automobiles. I also dabble with studio, consumer and pro audio projects from time to time.
Many products are assembled in the Czech factory of parts made in Denmark and then shipped either directly from Czech or sent back through DK. This sort of system is a moving target, really. As new products come online the logistics of manufacturing will undoubtedly be changing constantly. Better to focus on the end product.
The BeoSound 8 got some comments early on about being made in China, but has proved to be a very well made and reliable product. I have no fears about products being made in different locations, or a variety of locations, so long as the materials remain top notch and the fit and finish of the end product doesn't suffer.

Well Evman, I didn't know you had taken a driving adventure through West Virginia!

On the back of my bv10 : country of origin Danemark, on the box of my beotime Malaysia, on the speaker of the beocom 5 Czech.
This is always a fun question. All can expect that B&O products are made in Denmark, certainly our imagination would expect deeply that, mainly if people focus on the prices they ask (myself included)! But it's not the case except for few products.
But it's like making bikes. A bike is just a final thing made of various pieces from all around the world: frame made in taiwan, drivetrain designed by shimano japan but made in China, tires made in Italy,....and all assembled in France by instance.
In Europe, if more than 50% of the product is assembled in a EU country, by instance Germany, they can say Made in Germany. A lot of pieces of BMW cars are made in China, but the client has always the feeling to drive "a whole part of a genius german technology", so...Marketing/Propaganda helps for that.
In Scandinavia countries, they are smart. They put high value on products by the design. It's like Swedish Hifi High-end brand Primare. On the rear panel of their amps, they just mentioned Designed in Sweden. Nothing else . But it's made in Taiwan.
Psychological FX?
I've noticed a lot of Swedish products say Design and Quality Sweden but I only buy if it says made in Sweden. Brands and designs are cool but it has to have the proper(or an acceptable one) COO if I'm going to buy. :)
I have been under the impression that Beolab 5s are made in DK.
Is that no longer the case?
