51m0n Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Has anyone tried Bergantino cabs? Specifically the new HS210's? Just got my MB SA450, and its totally blowing me away. Now I want to get the 'right' cabs to go with it (my very ageing Laney 4x10's sound fine, but they are very big and very heavy!). I heard great things about epifani, schroeder and aguilar, now I want to know if anyone here has tried these new berg cabs as they sound like they might be ideal for me, since i want a lot of volume from modular rig that can sound anything from old skool to modern hi-fi. Any thoughts? Quote

Toasted Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I'm going to make a Berg cab one of my next purchases, I just need to decide on either the NV610 and the NV215. Argh. Quote

Really interested in the HS210, would love to know how loud a pair of them get, I reckon I'd stack them end on end to get a staggered vertical stack since it would make hearing them a doddle I reckon. Shame there isn't an HS115 though, that may well be my ideal rig. Cheers. Quote
Basszilla Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Berg cabs are excellent. I use the NV610. They've blown me away so much since moving to them. I don't think I could ever switch to anything else now. They are an integral part of my sound. They are literally the best out there IMO. Edited October 23, 2007 by Basszilla Quote

Argh.[/quote] If U want punch & clarity that sounds old school as well as modern???!?!?!?!?!? handles overdrive really well & is just plain AWESOME -go the NV610!!! If U want the big round less punchy but more 'bassy' effect of 15"s -still sounding awesome & able to sound modern-ish-due to the 6" driver in it-go the NV215!!! Or to settle it once & for all- GET BOTH!!!!! Thats what I'd do-if I could!! I'm SUPER happy with my NV610! Such a GREAT cab-makes ANY other cab I've had seem not as defined, too crisp, not as punchy, boomy, AND awkward to manouver! This is easy - just tilt roll, tilt & push into the car/van! I virtually NEVER have to lift it! Quote

PM me if you have need any more info etc. Regards Mark Quote
