I don’t judge people who buy Behringer gear, but I choose not to buy Behringer myself.
However the justification that “everything is made in China” is a hollow argument, and really even only fails to address one of the many other reasons why people choose not to buy Behringer.
The argument that somehow those who choose not to buy Behringer are “elitists” “worried collectors” or “against affordable synths” just demonstrates a lack of critical thinking, and seems like a lazy justification and possibly a guilty conscience.
The defending of Behringer is to me an indication that those people doing so are very gullible believing the whole “we just want to bring affordable classics for everyone” bullshit, either that or they are aware it is BS and turning a blind eye to it for reasons of entitlement.
I actually have more respect for Behringer customers who know all the facts and say simply that they don’t care, because at least they have thought about it and are being honest.
But whatever your reasons for buying Behringer I don’t care, all I care about is that I don’t have to.
