To start with if you want high end Audio/Theatre gear you should buy American. It's the finest available with a few exceptions.

Regarding made in Germany - and this applies to Kar don's post as well regarding component suppliers. The best you can hope for is ASSEMBLED IN GERMANY. Many, many of the components in a modern Benz are made in Eastern European countries such as Poland for cost reasons. The same applies to Audi & BMW. Even Audi's Lambo Gallardo has components made in Poland. I know suppliers to the plant.

So get real people - This is globalisation in action
Could not resist posting this. See pic of Genuine MB W203 headlight assembly I saw yesterday which reinforces my comment above.
