[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 83463, member: 126"] Re: Behringer iNUKE NU6000 amplifier For your question to make sense, namely that there is a simple linear relationship between reliability, power, and cost, all other factors would need to be constants. All the amplifiers would need to use the same technology, and be manufactured by companies with the exact same overhead/cost structure. While I have no specific knowledge of design details the Behringer amp is newer so most likely using newer technology than the other amp designs. We have enjoyed huge cost reductions in power amp technology over recent decades, with commensurate improvements in reliability. I see no reason to expect we have seen the end of this progress. One additional benefit of the lower operating temperature from higher efficiency designs is the rough doubling of MTBF for every 10'C reduction in operating temperature. I have no idea what the reliability of these new Behringer amps will be, that's why we need to wait for reports from users flogging these in the real world. I do know that I can't predict reliability from the price with so many other variables. If it makes you feel better to pay more, and you need an amp right now you have a nice short list of respected amps with a good track record. Me, I don't need to buy an amp any time soon.. so I think I'll wait until more user reports are in. JR [/QUOTE]
