Even if it sounds decent (read; not incredible or "audiophile"), my main concern with something in this price range is reliability- will it still be alive 6 months from now? If companies like Behringer have taught us pro and working musicians, sometimes you truly do get what you pay for (good or bad).
At the other end of the scale, my early 90's vintage $1200 SWR Stereo-800 power amp (400Wpc @4 ohms, 800W bridged at 4 Ohms) is STILL pumping along fine after all these years, driving my rig along at club and stage gigs AND providing the power to my subwoofers (50hz and down) in my Analog Rig at home. No cap replacements (yet) and not even one minute spent on the workbench!
Cheers,
