I hope to keep this rig for a long time to come.
Sound
Nice tone, rich and full
Features
I like the rollers

I own a Behringer 15" and got the 2x10 to compliment it. I will say that together it sounds great, even at LOW volume.

Best new gear for the $

"Looking for bang for your buck. Look to Behringer."

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars

I have been pretty satisfied. If it got stolen, I would probably get a BB410 and a BB215 - but only because my drummer drums so freakin' loud, I need to push some more air. :) I would change from the BA series to the BB series only because it is easier to add punch through EQ and effects, than it is to remove punch without sounding mushy.
Sound
If you like the punchier sound of aluminum cones, you'll like the tone from this cab. If you prefer a warmer sound, you might prefer the BB210. I use my BA210 with a BA115 and the combination of the two gives me a good, balanced sound - especially for the money - and has handled different types of EQing well.
Features
It's got a switchable tweeter / horn, so if you want to sound even punchier, you can. The grill is sturdy and the cabinet seems well-built. There are wheels and handles to help make moving it less of a pain. Would have liked a volume knob for the horn, but on/off is OK, I guess.
Quality
The cabinet is well-built and I haven't had any problems with the electronics, but I did have a problem with one of the speakers. Aluminum cones have punch, but they can be a little tempermental. I had my bass amp head at 1 and was tweeking my EQ. I played a Low B - which was enough to blow one of the speakers. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't "blown", rather, the adhesive holding the cone to the rim gave way. My guess is it was a manufacturing issue, not a design issue. Behringer replaced my speaker and I haven't had any complaints about the replacement.
Value
Pretty good equipment for a great price. You could easily spend double the money on a 2x10 that isn't going to be twice as good.
Manufacturer Support
Customer Support was great to work with. They were very clear in what my options were regarding repair / replacement. They didn't force me into one alternative vs. another. Overall, one of the best customer support experiences I have ever had - music or non-music.
The Wow Factor
This seems to be an odd category. It's a bass cabinet. It sounds good, it's affordable, it's well-built. There's nothing sexy about a bass cab.

"total junk!"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I died after four months of gentle use. I am going to replace the crossover and drivers and build up a decent cab.
Sound
Sounded nice for the two months between break-in and before it died.
Features
The switchable tweeter is nice, I'd prefer an attenuator rather than a switch, and will add one when I rebuild the whole thing.
Ease of Use
easy to use, but then again, it's just a cab
Quality
One of the aluminum cones unglued from the surround after three months of very gentle use!
Value
not much value if it doesn't play!
Manufacturer Support
Only after the BA210 died did I discover how terrible Behrninger customer support is. Some warranty - after 30 days, you have to send the entire unit in its original packaging back for warranty service, return freight pre-paid, making a warranty claim almost half the price of the new unit.
The Wow Factor
the cabinet isn't bad, just the junk drivers

"Warning - over hyped"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
If you are just starting out and mom and dad will pay for your first rig then get this one. Otherwise keep your money and spend it on something quality. It cant stand up to lots of use after a month or two and forget about support or parts. Once they have your money youre on your own.
Features
Usless tweeter switch allows ground noise to become more evident. The wheeles are useless, too close to the cabinet, wheels should be on casters.
Value
You get what you pay for.........this is low end equipment and dont believe the hype in the ads.
The Wow Factor
Looks nice but so does my lawnmower.
