[QUOTE="Matt Seymour, post: 73918, member: 1677"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A But in fairness we're not talking about a $50 item, or an item that's 10 times cheaper than the closest alternative. Ok... Don't listen ;) I take your point, and its essentially that one gets what one pays for.
