“I sell this stuff in my store and my house is full of studio series
speakers and an anthem mrx receiver. I love this company dearly but I
definitely am starting to fear the worst as far as quality goes. As a
business I get it cause its cheaper but I have seen more Paradigm /
Anthem (especially Anthem) products come back than I ever have. The
speakers are still very new in that line being out sourced so we shall
see but if they hold up anything like the MRX receivers I fear the
worst for that line.”

He is talking about Anthem MRX receivers and Paradigm Monitor series
speakers. Both made in China.

I currently have a (Canadian made) Paradigm based home theatre setup and when the time
comes to upgrade, I will be changing brands.

Oh, please stop. I'm still trying to digest "10x lower wages than
Canada or Japan". Parsing that is impossible.
