Are you sure this is still true? I just contacted what was LuxmanUSA and got a response from the IAG (International Audio Group) which is now the owner of the Luxman brand as well as Quad and a bunch of former British companies such as Quad & Leak. Have to admit I was saddened to learn my new Luxman SQ-N10 was made in China. Japan I can live with, but I shy away from China. The return address on their missive:

LUXMAN | Seeking higher sound quality
Revel & JBL are part of the Harmon International? Believe all of their products, other than Mark Levinson, which seems to be hanging in there in CT, are built in Asia (not necessarily China).
Edit: Have received my new Luxman SQ-N10. On the back of the amp and most places it states "designed & engineered by Luxman Japan", etc. However, on the box is a large label stating, "Made in China". On the flip side, it was as well packaged as any piece of gear I've owned and the fit & finish is just as good. Thus far it sounds great while breaking-in. Will give it a couple more days before setting it on the Stillpoints. Then let the tube rolling begin.
