i dont own any behringer, but if they had something cool i really could give two shits if they stole the idea from someone else. Behringer isnt the only company to do this, most likely any pair of sneakers you have bought in the last decade or jeans you have bought have been made under similar circumstances. I dont like the way it works, but blasting Behringer for outsourcing production is a little unfair since they do the same thing that other companies you cant help but support do. Hell, if you bought a PC in the last 8 years you benefited greatly from this type of stuff. Look at Dell and Microsoft, they outsource their tech support now to India! Those are two homegrown American companies that went overseas to cut costs. Behringer didn't do that, their market plan was always to go after the cost conscious consumer.
I know the biggest problem is about them stealing ideas and I hear what you all are saying, its a shame its like that now, but lets be honest..Behringer went after low end companies like Mackie, who we already trying to do similar things. They stole their ideas, who stole others ideas before, and so on. I really dont think that the Neves, Manleys, GML's, have really been affected by Behringer making a crappy $49 compressor.
