Based on recent listening evaluations, the bang-for-buck leader in
studio monitors could easily be the Behringer B2031A. They would
make very gutsy but nice-sounding speaker/amplifiers for use with
a computer system and/or CD player.

Those do look interesting.

The thing is, who wants to support a company which lifts ideas from
others who do all the hard work??

You mean companies like Mackie whose HR824s are slavish copies of
Genelecs?

Behringer are something else.. many, many, many of their products are
cheap crappy-quality "clones" of products that some other company
sweated over and paid dues in research and development. Both Mackie
and Aphex have successfully sued Behringer for copying PCB's IIRC.

Mackie did not sucessfuly sue Behrninger. There was a secret settlement.

In the case of Mackie, the clincher was Behringer copied an error,
identically, from the Mackie board to "their own" design. *******!

Wrong.
