The Energy car audio products are made by Gentec, a company that primarily manufactures accessories. The products are made off-shore to their specifications. The Energy brand is licensed from the Klipsch group.
Gentec also manufactures and distributes Energy Home Theatre cables that are manufactured off-shore and the Energy brand licensed from Klipsch group.

whats a good speaker those Eclipse's?...The Energy speakers running off a good amp with a decent source will out do most high end brands at the $1000 price point. Trust me I just swaped out my Focals for these and what a difference.
I bet the difference is significant!

LOL nice one Kevin!

Who really "makes" anything anymore? Remember... Volvos, Hondas, etc are made (really assembled) in Canada too... but then again who cares?

How it sounds, how it works matters most -- but no one really cares, the general public just follows marketing and what is "supposed" to be better -- God bless them and the money they will spending more gear to replace the crap gear that is "supposed" to be better because more marketing dollars were spent on it.

I recently looked at a line of European products that actually seem to be quite good and really made in Europe -- but sadly I know there is no point -- I don't have the marketing dollars required to make it "cool".

I for the most part agree Mike. All things being equal though (performance wise), I would rather sell (and buy) a product that has a history/heritage of clearly defined values regarding R&D, construction materials and production standards.

There is a great book called NO LOGO, written by Naomi Klein. A revealing read of corporate America and how branding has become more important than the product itself. I'll bring it down next trip if you have not already read it.

Cheers

Kevin
