Thanks Doc!
A very well put answer. The thing is that due to the hassle with the MP -pedal line, we have decided to go with the overseas production for now. As a matter of fact, the first unfinished MP cabinet was built today. I have been extremely lucky to get good suggestions from many people for good cabinet builders in the US. Couple of experiments that we have had so far have been disappointing. Eventually, however, I am sure we will start making them here also.
Eskimo_Joe, the answer is yes, definitely. A cabinet built overseas and built in Euros, comes with a premium. However, it is a genuine Mad Professor product, where the cones will be installed and tested by yours truly. And oh, I forgot to say, you can have which ever cones you want and we can also (and we want to) suggest what we like ourselves...
As you all know, the MP works well with basically any decent cabinet. If you want the MP looks and vibe, then I guess you don't have a choice...
