Getting bored with my current setup,and thought about trying the Carvin BR410-4,and/or the BR810. Anybody use these currently or at least tried them out? Specs look good and the price aint bad either.

I wasn't as thrilled with the 210 so I swapped it out for the 410. Local Carvin store made this much easier than shipping. |

I use a (BR) 2/10 and 1/15 together and they work well. I don't think I'd be happy with just the 2/10 though...

It looks good, though...

|  | THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER! | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: USA; Mitchellville, Maryland | | | I can't speak for the BR series but see if you can find an old V210T. I just got one and this this ROCKS! It's loud, it's gotta huge bottom, very portable and sounds fantastic. I was looking for a smaller cab that sounded similar to my Bergantino AE410 and this thing fits the bill almost too well! Not quite as crystal clear as the berg but still amazing. I picked mine up for about $150.

I now have a BRX10.4 and a BRX10.2, and I love that setup - especially running from my Walkabout. You won't be disappointed with the BRX stuff.

| | | | I have the BRX 210 and it's pretty incredible. It's SOLID and sounds great. Plus it's light. I love it. It's got a very neutral tone and doesn't color or muddy up my sound. |

It is an amazing cab or the cost and I've had several bassist use my Carvin BX1500/BRX410 setup and were really amazed how everything sounded.
