Default Amplifiers still made in U.S.A. ?
What are some amplifiers being built in U.S.A. still?

Don't turn this into a quality debate - this is purely an "inquiring minds" thread.

You need to list actual product lines, not blanket statements that will confuse people.

Not saying it is or isn't, but if you go over to the Arc 125.4 thread going on and follow the links to UBUY, there is clearly a picture of what looks to be an Arc SE amp on their website, which leads me to belive it may be built in Tiawan also. I could be wrong though, just going on the picture on the website.

I was shocked to NOT see a "Made in the USA" sticker on my 25 to Life Power 1000. I picked up a used Punch P5002 and a used Power 351S and both of them have "Made in the USA" but not my big daddy. In fact, my Power 1000 doesn't even say where it is made.... My guess is Korea or China?

I thought they were made in the US? Or at least I read somewhere that they said it was made here. It would be pretty wack if it wasn't.
Pioneer AVIC-F90BT, 60gb video ipod,iPhone, Kenwood X1R, JL 10W6V2, rest is stock and happy.

Nah, the SE line is the only line that is all U.S. for Arc. They are pretty big on that fact. (As well they should be IMHO)

I can't speak for their high end line, but the budget U.S. Amps X-terminator series are made in Asia. Don't know anything about MATTS current operation.

It was honest. My curiosity peaked a bit to see the replies both already posted and to come.
