B205D : Good monitor for no money

13 years ago

I have purchased two of these monitors. At first I wanted to buy Mackies that look just the same but the price is much higher. Then I saw these and thought I give it a shot. I heard from the guy who runs the sound hiring company that they tested both Behringer and Mackies and they didn't hear any difference in sound quality. However I can hear clearly the difference between those two Behringer I bought. The one of them has less pronounced treble/high end. It is very strange but they don't sound the same. The second thing I could complain about is that there is no way these guys can deliver 150 watts. I would say it sounds more like 20 or 25 watts to my ears but then again I am a guitar player and my watts are tube watts. Another thing is the power cable. The power cable that came with the monitors is a joke. It is not even enough to the floor when monitor is mounted on a mic stand. You should get another longer cable. Beside these small things I think that B205D is still a very good puppy for no money and it works in many situations, from just pluging your guitar in and play in bedroom to smaller events in pubs when combined with one 15" speaker. The sound is very middle oriented but the size/weight and mounting ability is just amazing. If you play at small venues or need a nice little toy for your home this is a go.
