I am a LD Maui dealer and a HK dealer. These are both German companies, the HK elements are made in Germany, Where the Nanos are done off shore. The LD Mauis are german design off shore built. I think the HK has the best natural sound, but at almost twice the cost of the LD Maui.

No for the insider info, Fender has worked a deal with LD Maui, you can no longer but a LD Maui 11, until after Jan 1st 2015. Fender wants an exculsive till then, I do have one left that I can sell, but can't get any new ones until then, the new ones I hear will come with a built in mixer.

I also have the LD Maui 24s in too.
