Bergantino NV158? ???

[David A. Davis]

I would love to have one of these. I believe it would match up perfectly with some of the lower wattage tube heads that are popping up (and the Streamliner). I'd say that if this thread gets a lot of attention, it would go a long way to making it a reality.

Allright my fellow Berganians, I'm the guy doing the field test on these cabs.. I've had them for about 4 weeks and love them so far... I've been waiting to check them out with my main gig which is a 6 piece group with 2 guitars, keys, drums, bass and 5 of us sing... We do everything from Sinatra to Steely Dan and we also use some backing sequences... It would give me the best situation to hear them in every context and also my best comparison.. We've been off for it's our slow time of the year, but we have a big corporate gig next Saturday.. I have however been filling-in with a 3 piece loud ass rock band and they have been stellar.. Plenty loud and my best description is muscular.. The low mids are nice and meaty... I've also had a few players listen them on a gig and at the local Guitar Center and one bass player called them exquisite.. I'm bringing them out this week for a few local players to check them out at home or on a gig for a set... These guys are old school and have been around since the dinosaurs.. I value their opinions and it gives me a wide variety of players opinions... You can pm me with any questions if I can help... I've been using it with a ShuttleMax 9.2 and I also have the Shuttle 9.2 and Streamliner 900 as well.. Very cool !!

Great! thanks for the info. Are you using 2 together? What are the dimensions of this cab (knowing that they may change with the production version)? Wondering if it will fit in my trunk.

SCT, I'm a little confused between the new Berg threads, sorry. Which cab configuration are you testing?

Hey, sorry about that.. What would be considered the NV-115..
I've been using two for this loud ass rock band, but one would suffice.. For most of my gigs I would just be using one...
I'll get the measurements later when I unload, just waiting for some of my hearing to come back..

NV15/8. I look forward to the gig review.

Again, the 15/8 is, from what little I know about it, a 'small version of the NV215, voiced to be a bit more low mid present/punchy and more even and extended up top. Sounds like a GREAT cab for those who want a more traditional sealed cab vibe with a bit better performance (upper midrange response and dispersion) up top!

 

[kringle77]

Is it an 8" or 6" mid? Glad to hear that it's low mid punchy.

 

[pickles]

Want.

Actually Ken thats a good description.. I'm pretty sure the midrange driver is a 6" and it is an 8 ohm cab..

Cool. I'm probably remembering wrong. Just emailed back and forth a couple times with Jim regarding the design goal of the cab a while back when going through the CN trials.

 

[kringle77]

Sct1422, im assuming that you normally gig sealed cabs heavily just like Ken gigs light weight 2x12's heavily and thats why jim asked for your help?

 

[GregC]

As an NV610 owner, I'm very interested in this cab.

 

[Tunaman]

+1 here, I'm interested... I hope it hits the weight & wattage of the 212, probably asking a lot but a 1 cab solution would be awesome
Right now I'm rocking GK NEOs & I imagine tonally this would be VERY different. Cool

 

[andrew]

Subbed.

 

[Tim1]

As an NV215 owner I too am curious, but since the 215 is so easy to schlep I am not sure that I will get one. Probably if they had been around when I purchased the 215 I would have gone with the two 115 option though.

 

[David A. Davis]

Aahhh! But there is another beta tester. I'll see if I can get him to weigh in.

 

[CTC564]

Sub'd

 

[kringle77]

With jims knowlede of tweaking drivers, I can't believe that hasnt just put iut some neo nv cabs since the prixe is coming back down.

Yeah, if its not NEO & around 55 lbs & only 400w I'd probably lean more towards the Baer ML212 myself although we are talking VERY different tonal goals.

+1 !!!!!
