Bergantino NV158? ???

[kringle77]

A quick search will answer most questions. Look up sealed cabs and dampening.

Damping...

 

[kringle77]

Yup, damping. The other one is where you get squirted in the face with a water bottle. Like teaching a cat better manners.

What's the deal with "dampening" and tube amps and this one? Is the dampening in the diver?? if so is this as good as the older NV's or the Sadowsky SA? Did you guys try it out with tube amps??

A well-designed sealed cab controls the movement of the cone(s) in a different way from other designs (for instance: ported), pretty sure that is where the term 'dampening' comes from.

tombowlus did a comparison between the NV115 and the NV215 earlier in this thread.

Oh , ok so it's not the driver it's the cab design.

Any news?

Any news?

Jim said to expect the NV115 in mid-May, and I'm hoping to hold him to it.

If not, bamboo under the toenails?

High on my GAS list!

Reverse baffle and 4 and 8 ohm options would be great.

 

[kringle77]

Im pretty sure there won't be any options. It is what it is with the berg cabs.

 

[David A. Davis]

He would be missing out on a pretty large segment of the tube amp community (Ampeg users) by only offering an 8 ohm. I can't see the reverse baffle creating any issues, manufacturing wise.

I'm not so sure that the tube amp community normaly gravitates toward a Berg cabinet (other than myself anyway).
Offereing a boutique cabinet that will not have a huge sales presence would only raise the price per cabinet when options are included to the manufacturing process IMO.

Nope, you run one for small gigs at 8 ohms with your V-4B, and a pair of them at 4 ohms with your SVT for big gigs.

 

[David A. Davis]

I give up.

 

[rodl2005]

I know a few of us Antipodeans use tube amps & Bergs.
Simply grab a tube head that can handle 8 ohms (& 4 & 2 ohms) :thumbup:

 

[SCT1422]

I actually prefer these cabs with Tube typehybrid amps.. I've been gigging them with a StreamLiner 900 and WalkAbout which is killer...

 

[pickles]

I have a feeling its going to be gonzo with my titan, and alembic f1-x+1001rb.

Whats a reverse baffle?

 

[rodl2005]

Speaker & baffle on backwards- i.e. magnet out front
