Driver for Berg cab? Update for Berg owners*

[Horizontalste]

Can anyone recommend a new driver for a Bergantino ex1/12?
I've been looking at Eminence but there are many to choose from.

Cheers

You'd be better off in the long run going to Bergantino for the driver. You *can* stick any old speaker in to a cabinet and make it fit, but the right speaker has had the cabinet designed to get the best out of it. I suppose on top of that, you have a cabinet of epic tonal proportions, but you want to throw a generic speaker in it? Yikes!

Or get the driver fixed at Wembley Loudspeakers. Likely to be the cheapest option and it will be the original driver.

[Horizontalste]

Thanks for all the input chaps :-)

[chris_b]

I'd start with Bergantino. Wembley loudspeakers are good but this is a custom unit so they will probably have to go to Berg to source one anyway.

[Horizontalste]

So I realised that the terminal on the speaker sub-frame had come lose & created a short, I have no idea how I missed it on first inspection but there you go.
It was attached with a small rivet and had just liberated itself, I've drilled it out & re-attached it using a screw.
So if your Berg starts sounding somewhat off it might be worth checking the terminal.

Cheers folks.
