SVT Impedance question - How could I have missed this?

[Jim C]

One of my amps is an SVT-CL.
I am about to buy a 3rd cabinet but my current cabs are a Berg HT322 (4 Ohm) and a TL606 (non original 4 ohm speaker).

I built the TL606 in 1984 and realize I might get better performance with a new brandy new Eminence 3015 driver instead of the Carvin unit.

New speaker arrived and I JUST realized that the SVT does not have an 8 ohm tap
This amp is a super clean US model that I intend to keep forever.

Does the Kappalite get returned?

[Selta]

IMO, yes.

Depends... If you bought before the recent price increase, it could be worth more now than what you paid for it.

Cab 1 - Berg
Cab 2 - TL606 - being swapped for 8ohm 3015

Keep it. Then buy:

Cab 3 - 1X12, 2X10?? - anything 8 ohm

You could run the Berg, or the 3015 and new cab, or you can shake the foundations and run them all.

Unless you are not buying a third cab, but just a new driver for cab #2

[Jim C]

Cab 3 is a light weight 4x10 at 4 ohms
The idea was the 1x15 for small gigs; the 4x10 for medium and the Berg when I want killer tone and don't mind a 100 lb cab.
Truth be told, the SVT stays mostly at home and a Mesa WA goes to the ball; just don't want to have a cab that I can't use safely with this head.

[JimmyM]

i probably would return it, too.

[charlie monroe]

yup, you should wave goodbye

Come on, guys, what are we thinking?

Build another TL606!
