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.
