Price is street price from Front End Audio (dealer), not manufacturer-published MSRP (vintechaudio.com does not list price, directs to call). Country of manufacture (USA/Kansas) not explicitly stated on current product pages; inferred as "USA" from general company claims ("made at our shop in the USA") on related 500-series page — FLAG low confidence, left blank per golden rule instead of guessing exact state.
