I was auditioning for a band, and they had set up an SVT Classic with the 810 stack.
Wow, it felt completely different than my Traynor YBA 200 and cheap GK 410. When I dug in on the chorus, it it just filled the whole place. When I locked with the kick, it made the whole thing sound like a single note played by the thunder gods. And, to my amazement, it handled the high notes (E on the G string) with grace.
Now I finally understand why they're the industry standard. |

But, yes there ain't nothing quite like an SVT> 810

Not a big SVT fan, but basically, the formula for me is:
*tube head of choice*+8x10 cab=Heaven

| | | | Hmm, sounds like I should try the 810 with my Traynor head some time. I've also been considering getting a 1x15 bottom to pair with my 4x10, just to see what I can do with it. |

There's a lesson there...

|  | WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB! | | | | | Agreed Marco, more speakers are more efficient. I have tried and listened to videos of the SVT-CL, and had not liked it. I do love the SVT-VR, that things is insane.
I wonder what my Orange AD200B would sound like through a 8x10...

But then again, I used to say the same thing about P basses, too, until I saw that magic happen.

And don't forget to knobs are not calibrated - so tweak them on your heads when you compare them.
Beats me what the OP meant by "high notes (E on the G string)".
If it was D and G, then any bass amp should be able to handle that.
