But please keep in mind that I was roughly explaining on the very basics of general design methodology of most amplifiers from those respective countries as that is what I was figuring was the over riding question. There is no one best type of country of origin for a specific need. As the market has really shifted away from just pure SPL burps to more sustained high output on music (read: I only demo bro). I have seen a number of competitors or demo trucks stick with or move back to Korean style amplifiers due to the voltage drops from these long demos, and due to the extreme heat levels with cooling aided by the much larger heat sinks. More research and info is needed past my post, before making an amplifier selection for a certain install need. Two little side notes: 1. My name has two A's 2. Don't ever take anything Meade says seriously, I'll leave it at that. Sean, though he may come across a little harsh to some, is an engineer with a physics background and is always dealing with highly advanced testing equipment. So even if you don't like how he answers your question, he is a valuable resource when it comes to the knowledge base here. Which is saying a lot as SSA and DIYma are the two remaining active forums that are really worth it when it comes to correct and well backed up information in terms of high end audio. Thanks Aaron and yea sorry I hit the r twice in your name I'm typing this on a tiny iPhone 6 keyboard and I got big arthritic fingers so I miss the tiny buttons some time. And yes M5 does rub me the wrong way but like I said before maybe it's just how it sounds in text. Like key and peal did a monologue of this very thing one guy texts another a friendly message but the way it's worded its perceived as a threat and by the time the friendly guy shows up the other thinks he wants to fight. Maybe that's what's going on.

Maybe I'm wrong and something is getting lost in translation but I don't think so.
August 20, 20169 yr Call me crazy, but I'd rather have a "Made in the USA" built amplifier any day of the week. Just Saying

August 20, 20169 yr Author What amps are left that are still made in the USA? Are the American Bass made in the US or are the zenon boards?

August 20, 20169 yr I was just joking above, haha. No American Bass is not made in the USA, honestly no amp is made in the USA. The only one that might be is the D'Amore Engineering amp, it has a hefty price tag on it.

I actually learned something on SSA thank you! Ow and it's kind of sad that American bass isn't made in the USA. But what is any more. The Chevy heart beat of America is mostly built in Mexico now. I actually own the number one car for having the most American parts and being built in the US Dodge Avenger R/T. Edited August 21, 20169 yr by Billy Jack
August 21, 20169 yr I run Linear Power. Built in the USA. Yep, they a bit pricey too. Is what it is brother.
August 21, 20169 yr There are several brands that use USA Engineering for amplifier manufacturing. MMats is one.. i could name more but it's not where it comes from, it's how good it is in your application.
