All of their cabs are made in their china plant. The RBH cabs are put together in California. Lots of their amps are, but not all of them. They have videos of their plant tour that states that the RB series are made in US.

I must say that the main reason I didn't buy my MB 500 straight away, was that it was made in China. I'm very happy with it, but I guess time will tell how well built it really is.

My RB1001 Mk2 says made in the USA on the back. My GK cabs are made in China, but the speakers are made in the USA.
