I can't be 110% sure but I believe B&W does also.

The shame with Paradigm is that many are no longer assembled in Canada.

I didn't know that, where are they being assembled now?
Is it just certain lines assembled outside Mississauga?

I am looking for some proof, but I believe the majority of the recent monitor line has been moved to somewhere in China. I am digging for info.

That sucks - I've always been quite proud of Paradigm keeping everything here.

Hopefully the Studio and Sigs are still all done in Canada. I'd like to get a pair of Sig S8's some day in the future....like far in the future. ($$)

Nope, all of their lines are still manufactured in Canada. I was given misinformation and passed it on, my fault, I apologize. (Mississauga, and I think Woodbridge?)

Per the rep, (distributor rep, not Para direct rep) they are still self-contained in Canada. Which is a good thing.

Actually a little more rumored info is that some of the components in the monitor line (drivers/x-overs) are in facts manufactured overseas, then assembled in Canada. The same can supposedly be said for the B&W 300 series speakers. Evidently you will have a hard time getting a Para/B&W sales rep to confirm that, but evidently if you can ask someone who works directly for the company (not in sales) they can confirm it.

Since you live in Canada, their number is 905-696-2845. If you are so inclined, you may be able to find out.
