Apologies, I was confused. I meant E-Stat and I inferred from your dialog with him that you knew both knew the manufacturer of E-Stat's amps. When I inquired directly, both of you dodged.
Now E-Stat has linked to the US-based E-bay seller of his amplifier. I would definitely not consider him a legitimate manufacturer. He is exactly as I described my hypothetical Chinese manufacturer, except that he doesn't have the excuses of:
1) Not being able to understand English well due to the language barrier (unless he is a recent immigrant, which doesn't seem to be the case based on the E-bay copy).
2) Being so poor and desperate that he will do anything to feed his family for the few dollars a day he makes "manufacturing" Hypex amplifiers.
The guy clearly knows just enough to be dangerous, just enough to give Hypex a bad name (needs a fan to stay cool?!), and screw up the value proposition for legitimate manufacturers.
If he is still "in business" in the same location to provide support for his customers, it will be a miracle. He currently is likely working out of his parents basement. How long will it be before he tires of living at home make a couple of hundred dollars per month "manufacturing" amplifiers?
