Behritones vs Avantones?

How better/worse are behritones compared to Avantone?

I've used Avantones at a studio once and I think it's a great tool.
I've never used Behritones.

BEHRITONE | Sweetwater.com

What do you think?

I think you try them both and make a decision based on what your ears hear.
The only reason people consider the Behringer product is price. IMO of course.

doubt it.

most people aren't going to do a monitor "test" for these types of speakers, there's not really a huge benefit to doing so IMVHO.

get one, make your mixes sound good on your nearfields and these, and call it \


FWIW, I have the Avantone Mix Cube mono powered driver. It's a "game changer" in the way I approach mixing now and fitting things together, night and day difference in mixes before/after using them. I suspect the Behritones will give you the same results.... just in a far cheaper box/build.

I personally opt for the longer lasting, better looking one. Notice no mention of better sounding as that's not the reason for using a mono single driver speaker source.

I have used both.. They are both bad sounding in a good way. Avantones build quality is very good. Behringers good.

Got my Behritone C50A yesterday and I am blown away how much this speaker reveals. Lack of transient response? Not at all. I can now focus on the midrange, especially 1-3 KHz. Very good mastered music really sounds good on these and not dull. But also, too much ess sounds from the voice can be identified as well. Everything sounds less impressive than over the mains. So thats a very good sepaker to compare your mix against the very best. Too hard kicks will sound too hard.

Hope that helps. If you have any additional questions, I'm happy to tell you whatever I can.
