That's crazy!! That's more than the ampeg heritage 810! And the orange! Yeh it's gonna be light but Christ!

[Roland Rock]

That's a lot of money, and as it's so unique it's hard to see what similar things cost. The Ampeg Heritage 810 is a grand. I suppose you've got to ask how much the weight saving is worth (obviously sound quality and dispersion are factors too)

[Merton]

I wonder if, I fact I presume, it's priced to sell a very limited number at high margin rather than shift countless.

[Dvisions]

God damn, I want one of these.

[Roland Rock]

It would be cheaper to buy a 610 and a 210 together. Not quite as cool though.

But slightly more modular haha

like the advertising slogan "

[doomed]

When that email came through I thought seriously, for the first time, about parting with my Dubster.

Don't quite get the logic of that argument (and not trolling or trying to pick a fight here). Surely it is down to which one is better, not the brand name?

[charic]

Isn't the Bergantino NV610 around £1100? That would be about in line for if they brought out and 810 I expect?

Having gigged an ampeg Heritage 8x10 and a BF Retro 610 the BF was a superior cab so I'd imagine the BF 810 to be worth the extra cash.

[Roland Rock]

To be fair, the Orange 810 isn't far off that price. Also, Glockenklang's 610 is around £1300

[Conan]

Bear in mind there are eight speakers in there, and the speakers are expensive (more expensive than the ones used by Ampeg and Orange, certainly).

The price of the speakers alone must be several hundreds of pounds... Compared to the price of the other BF products, I don't think this is outlandishly expensive.

[Roland Rock]

I agree that tye BF are premium cabs and justifiably command premium prices.

It's just that the 610 is a grand, so 50% more for the 810 seems a bit steep to me

FWIW, while the street price is a grand, the RRP on the Heritage SVT-810E is £1300, according to some other people also in Brighton.

Though you're only ever going buy at RRP from Barefaced, so it may be a bit of a moot point.

Looking at the raw numbers (and consistent reports about BF cabs in general) the BF is about twice as loud, so, arguably, you could save yourself buying [i]two[/i] SVT cabinets if you need to play that loud

Not that I need anything like this for what I do.

My maths says, excluding shipping, it's £50 cheaper than a 610 and a 210 (£1099 + £449 = £1548).

it was more about those being the most expensive 810's i know nothing about brands.

i think EBS neo and pro line 8x10's are far more expensive.

Fair point

[tonewheels]

You'll need two of these to get full power out of an SVT.

SPL would be, as Rolls Royce would have put it, adequate.

Is not the max power of a valve amp independent of the impedance tap used..?

[Toasted]

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1444149655' post='2880691']
No because of the way the two tens are configured in each horizontal pair.

Yeah it is, you'll get approximately the same power regardless provided the load of the speaker is matched to the impedance of the output transformer secondary winding.
