I wonder what other manufacturer they got the idea from.

Low-life predatory bastards....

Jalabodu · 18th January 2007, 04:13 AM

$20 Million in damage? Who are they kidding. You probably could have bought the entire inventory for $10K.

I smell a rat.

taturana · 18th January 2007, 04:17 AM

fishy.... maybe they wanted to get rid of the evidence....

LOL!!!

bobtheautomator · 18th January 2007, 05:08 AM

where in the articles does it say its the behringer warehouse?
The photo caption says "The blaze started around 10pm, igniting 150,000 litres of engine oil, mattresses, and a large amount of plastic."

either way I hope this doesn't slow down the delivery of that composer pro I've had my eye on

I bet the fire was started by an engineer employed by Behringer when told the gear needed more 'warmth'...

urobo[l]us · 18th January 2007, 05:44 AM

Wonder if this has anything to do with it... ?

I haven't read every word of it yet, but I wouldn't be suprised if they were given a year to fix issues with their products.

Well, when business starts going down hill, there is always the "torch it" method.

I have a hard time believing they'll get away with arson, but yea, it smells funky for sure.

Led · 18th January 2007, 09:01 AM

Or just maybe.....there really is a God. One that like his mixes to "rawk" (apologies to Mr Wittman)

Jalabodu · 18th January 2007, 09:04 AM

Should we form some sort of celebration?

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch...

Oh dear I do hope they are insured

statikcat · 18th January 2007, 09:24 AM

That's what you get for laying off your Quality Control guy. He said he'd do it.

I bet they left one of there pieces of S**t "TOOB" gear plugged in. They do add warmth for sure. A friend had his rack chard by a "magician".

Snatchman · 18th January 2007, 06:49 PM

Hummm...well if they need some equipment to get them through this, I have a plenty of their gear they can buy back.!.

This news brings tears of karmic joy to mine eyes

Shandy · 18th January 2007, 07:21 PM

Did I see a mention of "Behringer pianos?" Holy smokes, is nothing sacred?
