Memphis Made in Korea?

So here I was taking the day off from work I went to my local Shop where they are an offical Memphis Dealer

So when I got home I took out my memphis amp and looked, no serial number on it, nor on the box  "Yes I save all my boxes"  Anyone have any thoughts on this, something is starting to smell fishy

Later

I got the urge to take off the back panel of my amp and there and behold was the serial, now thats a slick plase to put a serial number  and I wont believe this retailers stuff is counterfeit hes listed right on Memphis site

I'll call Memphis on Monday and just double check

So in the good to stellar range huh.. I'll agree with that, im just concerned about the serial numbers not being on the box or equipment, now granted after I took my amp apart I found it, but you would think a small sticker on the outside of the box isnt going to cost much

Your thoughts on the serials?

A lot of well-respected companies sell equipment made in Korea these days, including Xtant, Zapco, Eclipse, Memphis, JBL,  etc. etc. etc.  Over the last 15 years Korea has become a world-class manufacturing center.

That being said, I believe the high-end Memphis line is manufactured in the USA, but I could be wrong.

As with Zapco, the Reference line and the Competition line are made in the US, but as a marketing technique and to try to keep up with the industry, the lower line I-Force are made overseas, They are a relatively cheaper amplifier, but pack a nice little punch with them, though not the typical SQ of the higher line Zapco equipment.

DYohn, I think you are correct in saying the higher end Memphis is manufactured in the US, unless they have transferred over in the last couple years, I ahve installed some older equipment that was infact labeled "Made in USA"
