Lived in San Francisco from 1970 until just a couple years ago and knew a lot of the audio folks Northern California over the years. Be curious who's making them for you.

No, we consider that proprietary. But you would not likely have heard of them - nothing fancy, just a small-town American factory that happens to do really good, reliable custom work for us.
Made in America usually means increase in cost.
Have you considered outsourcing magnetics manufacturing to increase margins?

Reliability and responsiveness are the main reasons. The ability to work closely together is especially important when doing a non-standard custom design. And as many small manufacturers have found, outsourcing overseas has many ancillary costs that make it actually less costly to use a reasonably local domestic source.
Product quality often takes a backseat to increased EBITDA, cash ROI and organic growth $$$.Engineering is compromised by the finance department and executive leaders who have ZERO engineering experience.
The company I work for is constantly looking at cheaper materials and vendors (mostly non-US) in order to increase margin.
This wastes time that could be invested into new product development. Instead our lab is spending time on qualifying new vendors.
Common sense is a relic of the past.
