A different kind of speaker ID question

[RamblinE]

I cropped out pricing so I hope that's okay mods.

Now, this Genelac looks an awful lot like the Beheringer Truth powered monitor. Anybody know if there are any relation?

Behringer Truth is probably a cheap copy, no relation (check the woofer screws, for example). They're dissimilar enough that Genelec wouldn't be able to sue them (well, you can sue anyone, they just probably wouldn't be able to collect).

Interestingly, I note that Behringer also has a model 1031A, but it bears even less resemblance to the Genelec.

Edit: interesting quote from Behringer's Wiki article

In June 1997, Mackie accused Behringer of trademark and trade dress infringement, and brought suit seeking $327M in damages but such claims were later rejected by the court. In their suit, Mackie said that Behringer had a history of copying products by other manufacturers and selling them as their own
