Chuck,

You should go tour their factory.  Maybe you can talk them into giving you some 
free samples!

Here's an article on McIntosh from CBS This Morning, which states that as of 
publication in January 2013, McIntosh had no overseas manufacturing facilities. 
 I have no information to suggest that's different 18 months later.

Here's another interesting tidbit.  Yesterday I discussed this thread with a 
friend who works in the hi-fi industry.  He mentioned a certain British hi-fi 
and home theater electronics manufacturer of entry to mid-level gear.  The 
entry level stuff is manufactured in China, the mid-level gear in the UK.  The 
company is venturing into higher end components, and recently decided to 
manufacture them in the US.  Why the US?  Because it's more economical than 
manufacturing in the UK, and quality control is higher than in China.

So there's at least some hope....
