I have actually heard and played through one. Horrible cab. Mushy, farting, low end, brittle highs. The sound of butt, amplified.

I tried their BX3000 head (or whatever it's called) through an SVT in a crowded music store. I found it sounded dark. I have always been suspect about their cabs. I have their cheap 30 watt practice amp that I bought for such a cheap price that I promised to walk it to the curb on garbage day when it died. Three years on, it still runs.

I get a sound out of it. Thats it. But like you say, it's farting, brittle and sounds choked. That doesn't matter to me. It was bought to teach my daughter. She now steals my Markbass/Schroeder rig and the Behringer collects dust.

what?

well im not gonna say they're the best, i mean, ive only tried one, and it was really good, for the price, i mean, comparing it to an eden ea, markbass, schroeder is just plain idiodic.

i had a thunderbird 15w prac amp when i started, got rid of it last december, it was still working like the day i bought it....but i mean, comparing how much behringer gears craps out to another brand is oftenly misunderstood...
say a store sells 10 mackie mixing desks in 6 months, but sells 200 behringer mixers in that 6 months, only 1 mackie may crap out but 20 behringers break down......thats still only 1/10 of both brands that crap out so its even, obviously this may not always be the case, but if theres more of that product out there the more you're gonna hear of it breaking down, because theres a larger amount of product

The irony is so did I ... your idea of ethics not being relevant that is, VERY offensive actually.

but I am sorry either way if I offended you.

when i said that i meant that this thread is not a debate about ethics, behringers ethics, your ethics or a comparison

but in saying that it doesnt mean im not going to not buy behringer, i may buy behringer, i may buy fender, i may buy ksd....or i could just be overly ethical and only buy aussie products such as lab systems, belman, maton and so forth....i buy what appeals to me

Wow... be careful... we wouldn't want to hurt anybody's feelings over the internet here.

Suck it up like men and move on. None of this "you offended me" garb. If it works for him, great. If it doesn't work for you, don't use it.

The Behringer debate has been done enough. Some people want cheap gear and don't care why it's cheap. Some people look a little harder and see that there's better stuff out there without the politics/ethics and go for that. Some people work really hard and scrimp their savings to buy something that someone else worked really hard and scrimped his savings to create. Whichever choice suits you, do it. But it's not very helpful to jump all over someone else who has gone about it differently.

i have a peavey/ampeg/crown/jbl rig..ive worked on that rig for about about a year now...all seccond hand...i was just saying how surprised i was by this $350 cabinet...it just proved to me you dont have to spend $2000 on something that sounds pretty darn good...

im not offended about any of the behringer things, he just offended my religeous beliefs, which i think takes it a bit far
