[QUOTE="Sean Chen, post: 112808, member: 6307"] Re: Behringer line array I originally posted the driver source question not to inquire about Turbosound past practices, but rather about Behringer future strategy. Also, I was more interested about volume capacity, as well as logistic efficiency (location of transducer plant vs Behringer speaker factory). I've only owned a few Behringer speakers before, and I have no complaints about the enclosure design and construction, but felt that transducers could be more transparent, and horn designs could use some help. In a very rough sense, the China made transducers are in a different league than those manufactured in US and Italy, in both sound and cost. Of course there are exceptions. Deep inside I am hoping through some business leverage, we can see those high quality Italian transducers, B&C for example, come down in unit price, if there is significant volume to be distributed over. I would hate to see the Turbosound-designed line array housing the same transducers in the previous Behringer entry-level speakers. I have no doubt that Turbosound engineers will do wonders to get the design aspects right, including horns. And I hope that Behringer's redesigned line array does hit a home run like the X32 in both quality and affordability, as currently in the market there is a wide price gap between arrayed vs non-arrayed speakers of the same sound (quality & loudness) class. I have a feeling we'll be pleasantly surprised at NAMM if the revamped product does surface then. [/QUOTE]
