Bergantino B/Amp at NAMM

Sorry to be redundant, I posted this same Q on an old Bergantino thread, but can any one tell me which would sound better / bigger, HDN112 X 2, or HDN 212 X 1 Also would anyone hesitate to run 2 112s or a 212 with an NV115 ?
I plan on ordering a B Amp, maybe today, and want to get the right cab configuration. As I'm 99% pick player, I think the 12s and 15 combination would compliment my style well !! Can't wait to hear this rig with the Dingwall 5er!!!!

I have heard from people who mix a NV115 with a Berg 112 and say it works. I have and love both but have never tried it (my gigs are more acoustic type). I would think mixing the sealed and ported cabs could have more issues than different ported cabs but it would depend on how hard you push them. Berg does recommend the 112, 210 combinations and has cab profiles for them. You might try contacting Bergantino and see what Jim has to say about matching cabs to the NV115.

You'll be fine either way. I have the HDN212 and it rules, but I think two of the HDN112s would be good if you want the flexibility of using either one or two cabs. You might want to think about an HDN210 and and HDN112 for even greater flexibility.

I personally wouldn't mix anything with the NV115 - two NV115s would be the way to go for more of a vintage sound.
