awesome88 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 am I right in assuming the behringers are $549 each, and NOT the pair?haha yea, i got tricked with this when i was first looking at speakers as well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydc Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 are the behringer ones any better than something like the jaycar or JB hifi ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pill Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Behringer will be a similar quality to the JB hifi audiolines, perhaps a little better.Mackie thumps are backed up by a much more powerful distributor and a higher quality amp. Kosmic (Perth) are selling them for $699 each at the mo, you should be able to find them in the easterns for a similar price.My choice if i had ~1k to drop would most certainly be a pair of 15 inch self powereds, and the Mackies would definitely take the cake there.

pill Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Oh and for the record I have used plenty of behiringer gear, it's not going to break any more or any less than your next brand. They make all their gear in house (they own a whole city in china) and distribute it themselves worldwide. You'll get a one year warranty on anything, and normally if something major is gonna blow it will happen in the first 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseparty Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yep, thanks for all the help everyone.Went down to storedj today and checked out the Mackie thump 15". They are pretty good and I like them, I need a more than $1000 but still, these are great quality and put out the amount of sound and bass that I want.

pill Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 You can't compare it to more expensive brands but i spose that's in the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesome88 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 for home and general house parties, i don't think you really need the top quality anyway. You just need something affordable to get the sound out and sound decent. I think behringer falls in this category..... better than speakers you'll get from jb hi-fi, but not going to break the budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
