behringer 8x10 for $270?

The almighty Bass-God made everything in the world, fretless...low-end....thick strings...blisters
but he also made crap...however, those germans managed to find it
and now they amplify it

on a serious note, i had a behringer as my first amp...was good, till you play better and realise how badly you have been living, played a 8x10 and was like....Heaven!
the same amp got nackered coming back from tour, so happy to get 300pounds to a new amp. best feeling ever.

dont contemplate it!! haha

"those germans...being the ones working at behringer, i do not in any way endorse or own germany. i love most europeans, and am only referring to the thieving company, not the race."
 
i had the 4x10. when i was 16 and thats all i could afford.


seriously, most of the time you get what you pay for when you buy gear. the rest of the time youre dealing with companies like behringer where you get less than what you pay for.

its probably that cheap because they have an overstock.
 
forget about behringer cabs.
they're the last resort if you can't afford anything better. but nothing more.

especially the 810. big, heavy, muddy sound... and reselling wont be that easy...
 
They make good beginner products.

Many a 13 year old plays a Squier or Epiphone through a Behringer combo in their bedrooms.

An 8x10 isn't a starter cab though. It is of no use in a bedroom or basement and even for medium-sized bars it is way too much firepower.

The price is amazing IMO for the 8x10 and I have no idea how something that big can even be manufacturered (let alone shipped from the far east) for that kind of $$$. I am ASSUMING that it sounds like crap. I have neven played a Behringer 8x10 but the 4x10 I had the displeasure to try was brutal.
