Most of the recommended stuff is actually imported from SE Asia.We can't afford to import anything from elsewhere, taxes up the wazoo, so it follows that everything recommended is British. No patriotism involved, I assure you
You are wrong. There’s zero import duty for American or Chinese stereo equipment imported to UK.We can't afford to import anything from elsewhere, taxes up the wazoo, so it follows that everything recommended is British. No patriotism involved, I assure you
The shipping costs are a killer. Duty was only ever about 3%You are wrong. There’s zero import duty for American or Chinese stereo equipment imported to UK.

I imagine the sale of brown paper envelopes increases around awards time.I wonder how What-Hifi? chooses it’s winners. Seems like they give everything they review 5 stars.
Sure. But would you consider Dynaudio as a Chinese company the same way ? Or the ones in Harman group as Corean ? I personally wouldn't.British companies? A significant number of those former British companies are now under foreign ownership and manufactured in overseas factories.
Thanks for the input.You are wrong. There’s zero import duty for American or Chinese stereo equipment imported to UK.

...And now they just drive the point home by mentioning only British speakers...Standmount Speakers : 7 out of 9 are from UK.
What's "intriguing" ? How the f**k there would be any "surprise" at all ?!? You are just discerning free "Awards" to your friends in the industry, who also are your direct customers for advertising purposes. Stop lying pretending it has been a thought competition, or I don't know what bullshit you've been used to tell for decades...This year’s floorstanding and standmount speaker Awards have proved to be an intriguing mix of the familiar and the odd surprise.
