Reply to So yeah... about those Behringer PA speakers

I've never been a fan due to the companies past (both personal and second hand) reputation for putting out unreliable products. With that in mind, I saw a pair of them being brought into the venue I was at toevening and thought I would give them an honest listen with an open mind. Well... I'm still trying to figure out how much hearing damage those things gave me toevening . All I can say is that you guys who can't afford better speakers will be well served to save up and wait until you can afford better. These things are HARSH. Now the DJ could have done a better job tuning them in on the mixer (and eventually did), but even after the fact, these things just aren't in the same league as JBL or the same planet as QSC. The staff at this lounge has told me before how bad "those" speakers are, and never really known or cared about brands that some of these guys are using. Poking my head around, it ends up it's always the behringers they are speaking about.

Yes, if you absolutely NEED to have speakers on the cheap and saving just isnt going to happen, then go for them. If you really want to go about presenting yourself as well as possible at every angle though, stay away from these speakers. You are going to come across as either having an underpowered rig, or one with harsh horrible sound that's just too loud.
