The main speaker page at Weber's site says "Proudly Made In The USA", and he states that his speakers are hand built to order, so I never suspected that the speaker was imported - unless it is not actually a Weber product. I have always figured that the Epi version for the Valve Junior was a copy made in Asia. Mere speculation on all of this on my part - I don't really know
