They have been promising delivery for many months. As far as I know, they are still not available. I'll bet they will be good though.

I'm picking up 2 tomorrow, getting them for a deal, I sell home and car electronics, and one of my supplier also distributes Behringer, so I'm getting 2 B212A for under $300

Try George Kaye I believe he has them in stock.

Great! They are finally available then. I'll be anxious to hear how you like them.
DonM

Add me to that list as well. I've read about them, but live where none are available to demo. I'd love to hear someone's review.

George K. should have them by now. How 'bout it George?
DonM

I just hope they're NOTHING like the B300 speaker:

as I had a pair of those a few years ago - they are harsh, tinny and flat (no real dynamics).

These might be a different kettle of fish - I hope for your sake they are....

Good luck and happy gigging!

Yes, I talked to Hank B. yesterday and told him I have them. I received 8 yesterday. I've got 2 on the floor. They look and sound great and they have a wonderful price point. The Retail Price is $299.00 ea. and the MAP Price is $199.00. They have a 12" and horn, look like a JBL EON, weigh 36 lbs. each and has a 400watt amp to the woofer and a 50 watt amp to the tweeter. There is an XLR and 1/4" input and an XLR link out to daisy chain. there is a gain knob, bass and trebble. You can wall mount or speaker stand mount. This is a very desirable size and I'm comparing them with the Yamaha MSR100 which is a 100Watt with an 8" speaker and sells for $369.00. The Behringer is everything I'd hoped for and more.

Wow!! That's a lot of watts for such a low price. I would love to hear how this speaker stacks up against an Eon10 G2. The specs indicate a similar bass response, but I'd like to read what people hear.

I just purchased two Eon10 G2s about 2 months ago (used), but I've already beaten up the grills even though I've kept them in gig bags. I hope that I won't want to sell them soon.

Hi Beakybird

I don't even use gig bags for mine and have no marks on them. What are you doing to them dropping them down the steps?haha

Seriously, though, do you think this is something to do with the way you pack them or something?

Scott

It would be interesting as Beakybird stated to see how they sound compared to JBL Eon 10 G2's, These powered Behringers and the Peavey PR12P. The Peaveys have been redone, they are lighter as in around 34 pounds.

Has anyone tried the Peaveys against the new Behringers? Or has anyone even just heard the lighter Peaveys?

Dont waste your money.....

Scott,

Tried the Peaveys a couple weeks ago--don't waste your time. The speaker enclosures are much lighter than in the past, but the sound still has not improved significantly. The bottom end is still a bit mushy, mids are OK at best.

"I don't even use gig bags for mine and have no marks on them. What are you doing to them dropping them down the steps?haha" (From Scott)

I guess I have my way of plopping these babies in the trunk of my car. I thought that the grills were rugged, but they aren't. I'll have to pound them back into shape whenever and if ever I sell my Eon10s. Otherwise, they don't have a scratch on them.

Beakybird

Has anyone tried these?

Can anyone tell me how you think these compare to Logitech z5500 system ? (I am lacking in analyzing sound systems.)

The z5500 can be had for $270, delivered, and I suspect there will be sales very soon. They usually drop in price every now and then and are now at their peak. Christmas, I assume.

I guess the Behringers could be had for approximately $450, delivered.

George,

I cannot determine from the spec sheet whether the amp is 400-watts peak, or 400-watts RMS. What is the RMS power? Whoops, I just found the information in the manual--it's only 200-watts RMS at 8 ohms.

Bill (Semilive),

Looks like the Z-5500 puts out a lot more at 500-watts RMS, 1,100-watts peak power. Plus, the Z-5500's sub is gangbusters, and the overall sound is outstanding. I suspect the price will be coming down after the first of the year, and there have been a few sales at $199 with free shipping during the past few months. It takes a bit little work to set the system up initially, but after you mount the satellite speakers on platforms, the Z-5500 will blow the doors down.

Good Luck,

Gary

Don't play the number game...They lie!!!

Listen to the amps/speakers...The best, and loudest amps I own are rated at 100 watts..I even compare my amps at 60 watts..to others rated 5 times higher in numbers..

Same old story..don't even look at the numbers...play the dang thing and when you are happy with volume and quality of sound...take one more step...check and see if you have more head room from your comfort point, without degrading the sound..


If so you have a winner, no matter what the numbers say..
