Handwired Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I know you guys are going to say it's down to personal taste, it's what works best for the band and the type of music I play (Classic Rock) but I'm after a different angle because I only want to keep one, and trying to choose one is blowing my mind, they both sound great but with subtle differences, so musically they both nail it. What can you come up with? Quote
winterfire666 Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 keep the lightest maybe? easy mobility has always got to be a bonus Quote
Handwired Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Thought of that but they're about the same. Quote
Marsy Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 They will weigh around the same I imagine.. All I know is the nv412 is awesome! Love mine Quote

JTUK Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Put them both up for sale, and see which one sells first Quote

Roland Rock Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Not a bad position to be in! That's enough berg to sink the Titanic! Quote
LukeFRC Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 6x10 = 6*π*(25.4cm[sup]2[/sup]) = 12161cm[sup]2 [/sup]area 4x12 = 4*π*(30.48cm[sup]2[/sup]) = 11675cm[sup]2[/sup] area therefore mathematically.... keep them both? Quote

Roland Rock Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 No it doesn't, just cone area. Seemed pretty convincing to me though :-D Quote

Marsy Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I think when you get down to subtle differance it's a case of.. Pick one and crack on! Contemplating subtle differances in 2 fine bass cabs isn't a nightmare scenario to be in!! Ha ha Quote

mrtcat Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 What a terrible predicament, I feel your pain. Doesn't matter which one you keep. Either way you'll have a great cab and either way you'll always wonder "should I have kept the other". Both are equally good and the difference is negligible and as you say you don't prefer one over the other then just pick one and sell it. Quote
JTUK Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Ok... I'd keep the 610, all things being equal. I think the 610 will have the better amount of controlled bass and the ability to be a bit snappier up top, which I would like and want... but then I would also want a horn. My current default BEST rig is a 212 with a 210 on top and that is the best of all worlds and I think the 610 has a better chance of emulating that sort of sound and attack than a 412. I think a 212 and therefore a 412 have potential to be great cabs in their own right but the 810 is still the ultimate and for my needs a 610 would probably win out...but I don't say that from a point of view of owning and hearing your cabs. Stick with sell which ever gets the interest, then..?? Quote

molan Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I'd go 610. One of my favourite cab designs but too heavy for me I like 212's but feel 412's can get a bit 'woofly' (is that even a word?). Quote

LukeFRC Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 22 posts in and nobody's suggested you sell them both and get a barefaced yet either Quote
tonyxtiger Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I could offer to buy the 610 back but I just ended up buying another NV610T with the tweeter. They are hard to replace. Keep them both, after all it's these little differences that make them bergs, and make them a little bit better than most. Quote
