Eden VS Schroeder VS Bergantino

If you want a (good) SVT-ish sound i think the berg is the only choice. The other two cabs aren't likely to give you an SVT style sound, though they'll sound cool in thier own way. Hopefully joker and tom will step in here, but i think they say the schroeders remind them of the Eden 410, but smoother and more refined.

 

My vote is for the Berg - IMHO it blows the edens into the weeds! Never heard a Schroeder, though.

BTW - I sold my Epifani 2x12 and bought the Berg.

What head or preamp/amp combo will you be using?
Style of music you play....size of band...size of typical venue and the acoustics?
Are you only trying to accomplish getting an SVT cabinet sound?
What bass are you using....4 or 5 string, and make.
Current rig speaker wise? What is it and what's "wrong" with it?
What's important to you....stage volume, venue volume, clean/dirty bass, projection, do you have PA support....what do the other guys in the band use for amps...how loud are they....how loud is your drummer?

2 things...

Number one.....the three cabinets are totally different animals....not only in tone, but size, volume per size, weight, and a little in price, # of speakers (2,4,or 6). I own the 1210 (and a 410 schroeder) and have owned an XLT210, and SVT cabinets in my past, but not the Bergie, but I've heard nothing but good things about the Bergie as a great old school, before use of tweeters, replica, with much better speakers and engineering, yet in a lesser sized and weighted (not a lightweight mind you, but lighter than an SVT) cab.

Number 2, even though I recommend you try as much as you can, if the only thing you're after is an SVT clone sound cabinet, I'd wouldn't do much shopping, the Bergie is probably the best choice, but you may find that if you're open to other sounding cabinets and if so, I'd be glad to chime in more ... just please answer the above so we can understand a little better your motivation and circumstances first if you don't mind a little more writing.

Have a good one.

I don't really think that the schroeder 1210 and the Berg can be compared... they are different size cabs for different tones. If the schroeder could get as loud as the Berg, then maybe they could be compared, but then who would take a 610 over a 1210 if they were equally loud...

compare two schroeder 1210s to the 610 - thats a bit more realistic.

I don't think the EDEN is even a consideration next to the other two cabs

 

Schroeder = win
Bergantino= win
and Edens certainly don't blow either

 

I own both an Eden 410 XLT and a Schroeder 1210.

I love both. They have different sounds to them, but no sonic characteristics that I consider bad or poor. I use them both (Eden in the practice space/large gigs / the amazing portable Schroeder for smaller situations.) They both fit the bill quite well and sound great with a Thunderfunk.

Eden might not be anyone's flavor of the month right now, but they are still GREAT cabinets. And because of the popularity of other cabs on these boards, you can sometimes get them for incredible prices. Keep your eyes peeled.

I won't go as far as recommending one : don't know anything about your preferences in tone, setup, etc...

I cannot comment on the Berg as I've never heard one.

 

+1 all around. See, Larry and I do occassionally agree!

 

I hardly think Schro 1210 vs NV610 is fair.
Change that to Schro 21012 vs NV610 and I'll bite.
The 1210 vs eden 410xlt is gonna be real close.
A schro 410 or 21012 vs the 410xlt is no contest.

 

It sounds to me like the NV610 might be your ticket.

I'd have to concur with Tom, maybe...

I'm a rabid schroeder user, but svt810 is not their sound. It could be eq'd in, but it's not their natural state. NV610, or maybe 215 might be a good choice for you...but, you really ought to find somewhere to audition schroeder stuff with your head and bass...

 

Sounds like fun

 

I believe this to be the case. IMHO, the Bergantino is a far superior cab, and a lot of cab for the money.

Tom.

 

I have the NV215, which is the same box, and it is surprisingly easy to move around and negotiate. The wheels really help.

Tom.

 

I've said it many times.
The NV cabs are the easiest 'big' type cab I've ever moved.
Well thought out.
