Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I started looking around for a performance power amp that was in between crown and Behringer. Now while I consider Crown the holy grail of power amps, I didn't feel like spending the cash for the Harley-Davidson of power amps. So when looking, I actually took a look at parts express and their most popular power amps. To me, the majority of the people that visit that site have their head screwed on straight and care about quality products. While a lot of the reviews showed promise for Behringer, my cousin and I currently employ a tube based preamp in my studio, and while it worked flawlessly in the beginning, all the pot's on my preamp are now fuzzy and buzzy. His preamp sucked from day one, buzzing at 60Hz, requiring post process filtering which saps the nuances out of the recording. To sum up my opposition to Behringer, I didn't feel like getting a product that worked well for a year or two, though I just bought a Behringer 8-channel mixer to go with it ($60 and not regretting it yet, but we'll see)
Hooking it up to my 6.5" jbl studio s26-ii's, I was blown away by its punch and clarity. Mind you, its normally being driven by an 80W/ch Onkyo (0.08%THD). The speakers had more dynamic to the sound, and it was absolutely fantastic. I had done this while I awaited the arrival of my MTX PA speakers.
I bought a pair of MTX TP2400 to go along with it. They are definitely not the greatest speaker out there, but they put out the high SPL sound I was looking for in a live performance. The amplifier drives them pretty well, though I cant help but be slightly disappointed with the result. I am confident that the amp is not the culprit though due to how well it has driven my other smaller studio speakers.
I think these cheap PA speakers really show the beauty of the amp though, Its speaker/clipping protection made the music stay at uninterrupted high levels. The other great thing is the 6 year transferable warranty. While I don't really care too much about warranties, Behringer's abysmal 1 year warranty pushed me over to QSC. That's pretty much saying what I think about my current products, they know its too risky to warranty a product longer than a year.
I hope you find this info useful, because these guys deserve every sale they get.
