And this is what it always comes back down to...always; money. And how much of it someone can save. Behringer is a very shady company and not very original. And from what I've read, they don't treat their employees too well, although those stories from employees are several tears old by now (who knows if things have changed?), but like it or not, they put a lot of decent gear into the hands of people who may never be able to afford the originals, and that is a great thing. Musicians/producers now have access to a lot of gear most would only dream of using, without going broke in the process. I'm not mad at that.
Their business model isn't one built on ethics, but this is business...and that makes them no different from many other business out there (including some of your faves, in and out of audio). And that is why I both love and hate Behringer. As an artist, I don't appreciate their sleazy business tactics, and downright theft. As an artist, I cannot condone or support that. But if I take my artist hat off, and don my business hat; I have the utmost respect for them, as the sheisty, cut-throat businessman. And as a consumer and producer, I have nothing but appreciation for them, for their contributions in the market.
Looking at it, in this entire industry, there's no company quite like Behringer...not at all. And that makes them something truly special.
