^^^ point being from the above two posts is that quality issues are not completely from off-shore parts. If you want to talk about buy american as it pertains to economics and the benefits of, lets have that discussion. But just because it's american made doesn't mean it's good quality. Just because it's made in china doesn't mean it's poor quality.

Unfortunately until somebody actually ponies up the funds for a set of these and tries them out, then provides some sort of information on them as to how good or bad they may or may not be, it's all speculation. That's the other part of the problem. The internet doesn't provide an unbiased sampling of reviews in most cases. People like the gentleman quoted above have been maligned and so they are doing anything in their power to help their case. Meanwhile, the guy that purchased a set and didn't have any issues is out driving around instead of posting on the internet.
