I must admint that a company that does not invest in
it's own R&D is one
that will fail... and lose (at least my) respect.
There's a part of me that finds the Chinese dynamic
upsetting but my wiser American capitalist spirit
makes me realize this is the naturl order of the world
market and everyone better adjust and compete.
Maybe the Chinese manufacturer will eventually push
some good R&D out of existence and acquire enough
assets during the process to pay good bedroom
engineers for their designs. We don't know what will
happen.
The Chinese can't subsist on rice and child labor
forever. Eventually they need to succeed at competing
against the old guard.
Incidentally I think Behringer product is pure crap
and that I can produce hit quality productions with
some of that junk.

I find that Behringer's quality varies greatly, as I have a BCF2000 controller which is just frelling
brilliant. It works
really well, and is, as far as I can tell, a very
original piece of
equipment.
I also have a Behringer T1953 mic preamp which I
never use because it
gives me a much harsher sound than I like. I even
prefer the preamps in
my Behringer mixer to it. The mixer's not
bad, and
has never given me
problems.
The last piece of B gear I'll mention that I have
is a cable tester. This
is the piece of gear that shows what little regard
they have for other
companies when designing gear.
Here's the B tester:

and here's a piece of gear calles a Swizz Army
tester, which is the original
product:
http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--EBTSWIZZCT
Other than the color of the case, these units
appear identical, except
for the price. This cheesed the folks who made
the
Swizz Army unit off,
as you might expect.
Google for behringer and aphex or roland or mackie,
and you'll find that
at least early on, the 2 big reasons they were
able
to sell their stuff
so cheaply was Chinese labor (and that hasn't
changed), and having a
copying machine as the heart of their R&D
department.
