Although I am a new member on Talk Bass, I have been reading the amp forum quite a bit while researching the purchase of a new amp. I came very close to buying the Behringer EP1500. Every review I read on the net ranted and raved about it. That is until I came across some of the posts by Bob Lee. I just bought the QSC RMX 1450. For me it was an ethical issue. Sure the QSC cost 33% more than the Behringer, but R&D is not free. If we don't support the real engineers, who will? Just my opinion.

That's Behringer's business model in action. I won't buy anything they make, as they have habitually stolen other companies' ideas. Not just concepts, but actual schematics and layouts.

In addition to the lack of ethics, they make cheaper versions of products that are already very inexpensive. How do they do it? If you look inside, you'll find cheap flimsy parts that just aren't suitable for long use, especially if the gear is transported.

"Look at the bright side...buying fewer, but higher quality things prevents you from being be burried in clutter!"

Yeah, sometimes I buy organic produce for exactly the same reason... It costs a lot more, hence, I never let it go bad... I can't tell you how many times I have bought a big bag of discount apples only to let half of them rot...

oh yeah, what were we talkng about again?

crap, here comes another Behriger squabble.... RUN!!!!

I didn't know the B and Q had a thing going on like that.

Funny, about two weeks ago I bought a Behringer BX3000T head from GC and returned it since I didn't like it when I cranked it up. Now I have a Bmax with a QSC RMX1450 and love it. Northern Sound and Light ROCKS MY SOCKS, saved me about $150.00 from GC prices considering lower sale price, free shipping and no sales tax.
