avatar vs. behringer

OK, I'll be the one dissenter.

I have the BB410 and they sound great. I have pushed mine hard and they have not broken at all. And the rest of the band have said what a great punchy tone I'm getting. I had a bass player with a Fender/G-K head and cab come and ask to use my rig cos it sounded so much better than theirs!! I laughed but I let them.

Interesting to see that they get good user reviews on Harmony-Central as well - the paper ones, not the aluminium. People say they sound harsh and that the alum separates from the rim of the cone. Happens to Hartke ones as well.
 
Although I never played an Avatar, I would make the assumption that they are far more reliable than anything Behringer ever made. :hiding:
Also, I played through the Behringer 4x10 in question and I hated the tone, the aluminum cones sounded too shiny for me. It just didn't have that warmth. I would go with the Avatar over Behringer any day.
