Which speakers are made in UK?

There are a lot of great UK HI-FI manufactories, like ATC, B&W, etc. Do they design speakers in UK and make them in other countries? Which speakers are made in UK?

 Thanks very much!

They should have changed the name on the move to Hong Kong. Or renamed a region, in Hong Kong, Kent.
