Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Made in Canada or?

Agree for the most part, I am not going to get political here, And I guess I am getting into an off-topic here, also, I live in Palm Beach County, so some would say "I can't even vote properly" we are going to attempt to vote (uncontested) here tuesday. I will say I was very surprised when my girl and I looked at pianos, a Steinway is still am awesome piano, and a Baldwin is no sloach, But then Yamaha came into the market, and now almost ALL pianos are made in Korea, electronics is one thing, but I thought that fine craftmanship was not a Korean thing. These classic pianos are marketed with the high end name but built in Korea, and they can still ship a 1000 pound plus idem here for less, go figure????????

The TV I own was bough used from a friend of a friend. Also do you know of any computers that are entirely made in North America, chips, memory, drives, and processor included?

Believe me, if there were viable options for US-made products for all those you listed, I'd consider them.

Anyway, I wasn't PREACHING, and I certainly didn't tell anyone to throw away their non US-made electronics. That would be wasteful and environmentally unfriendly .

And an amen to THAT.

allright, how reversed is this. I got a Yam rxv-1400, )my second one) from the company awards bounus progam, I sold it in the box un-opened, and will use that cash to buy my NEW m-80's my Yamaha sale is employing Canadian workers, and expanding good-ol Axiom LOL JOn

On the flip side to this (possible political) topic, most (quality) electronics and goods are actually engineered in North America (provides jobs at least) and mass produced overseas where the governments of these countries don't give a $hit about the environment or well being of their people. I would like to see everything produced here, but our own people and government have SOLD OUT. If we want to change this, we need to start writing letters to our congress man and do something about it. I have been bitching about this for years and have been very active on this topic. Hell, even tech jobs are in jeopardy. Call centers are being taken over by companies in India. The list goes on.
It’s something WE need to take serious before it’s too late.

TT - AMEN sir.

Don’t forget to vote!

Pmbuko, exactly...that's my whole point, you can NEVER EVER, avoid buying and using stuff made by foreigner, just because you enjoy that big screen tv of yours that made by the japs, does that mean you are a traitor and an unsupportive person of your country? I don't think so. Almost everything you wear, from shoes to baseball hats, are mostly made by Foreigner too, does that mean we're cashing out our bank to someone else? Most exotic audio gears are made by foreigner in Germany, British, Italy, and such, so I suppose you should stuck with stuff made only by good ol' North America too!! Oh yea, how about the camera you own? made in USA and Canada I suppose?? LOL I can go on and on and on all night, but the fact is...you're still, and always will, spend your hard earned cash on stuff made by foreigner, so next time when you raise and wave the Canada or USA flag and shout out loud "buy stuff made in North America only!!", I suggest you to look at the shoes you wear, and the computer you're using to post those kind of nonsense first. You get that right, most computer parts made by 3rd world country, but you forget to mention nobody point a gun on your head and force you to buy them. :-)

By the way, I'm just trying to point out that...even the woofers and tweeters are made in China, that doesn't mean Axiom speakers and Subwoofers are inferior to anything else that were 100% made in the good ol' North America. How come I feels like I'm debating this stuff with a bunch of close minded communist?? haha ;-p

Personally, whichever countries and whomever made the best stuff will get my money!! nuff said. :-)

Here's a good place to start.

And the flag that you raise, Canadian, or the stars and stripes, or even the stars and bars for that matter are probably not made in the respective locations. Hey, it's the way it is, we don't live in a perfect world. "global" economy has it's merits too, I am a firm believer that competition is a good thing, without competition we are screwed. We would be paying 40k for a darn Vega or Pinto if the imports did not FORCE the "big 3" to get their act together. That being said I make a assertive effort to buy products from "here" but when I fill up my big ol' CHEVY truck in the morning, of all people, the middle east gets my money. I don't want to live in a cave, cause the acoustics suck! till then, common sense hopefully prevails, Go W!!! Jon

I agreed, and trust me, when it comes to the need for speed, I've own and chose nothing but good ol' American muscle cars, and I enjoy ripping a new hole on those "Slow and the Curious" ricers at the track and on the street, and I still have yet to come across any japs crap rumble my butt on the seat or have the cam looping anywhere close to my Z28. ;-)

Ben, if you PM your email, I'll send you some pics of bow-tie muscle that I built, and some good old fashion Harley American Muscle
