I've listened to Genelecs through a Beringer mixer followed by an Allen and Heath mixer. The former produced a weak and disappointing sound. The latter was full, detailed, and sonically impressive. The conclusion was that the Beringer mixer was a weak link. I was also disappointed by a second Beringer mixer as well as a DI box by Beringer around the same time. I wouldn't consider them high quality by any stretch of the term. They are probably acceptable when entering the market, but don't belong with components in the $100k - $1m range that this article is addressing.
