There are several good amps on the market. I listened to many of them back to back. The Behringer had just as good a sound as nearly any of them and was the lowest cost. Without real measuring equipment I will guarantee not too many people can tell the difference between them. Don't misunderstand. I love other brands and there were others that sounded better but I didn't see why I would spend that much more money for something that didn't sound that much better.

yes thats true some people might not be able to tell, but i'm pretty sure i could ( i have bought a few of them, i had 6 of them at one time) peaveys, mackies, qsc's,non of them in my opinion sounded better than the 2 crowns i have, not even the mackie amp. ( and i love Mackies ).. i have listen to Behringers, as a matter of fact i bought a Behringer board a while back and it was cheap like you said ( just can't remember the models name, i know it was a digital one ) it just didnt have the sound i was looking for, it didnt sound good to my ears, so i ended up selling it to a friend of mine after a few days, and they like it..same thing with subs, there are subs that has a short throw and a long throw, and i'm pretty sure that most people buys a sub w/o knowing what kind of subs they're buying..( thats another topic )
