How do you get your 810 around

Can you guys tell me any situation you've been in that you actually needed a 810 instead of a 410? I genuialy wonder.

Every time I play. I (meaning me alone) can load in just as quick an easy as anybody with a 410 or whatever else others use. Been lugging one around for a long time and NEVER do I have thoughts of wishing I had something different.

The way the 810 casters/handle layout is designed it actually is almost easier to move than a 410. My 410 has casters but having to roll the cab without tilting it makes it a bit of a hassle. I usually put it on a dolly just because it tends to want to tip over pushing it on it's own casters.

Almost? It is absolutely easier to move anything than a 410 cabinet. 410 cabinets were put on earth to remind us that our guts are held in by muscles originally intended to wag the tail we don't have any more. And to make sure getting up in the morning is a real PITA if you are over about 22 years old. And to make sure that you strain something going up and down stairs. A 210 is fine, an 810 is fine, a big ol' folded horn like I prefer is fine. A 410 is only for people who are less than four feet tall or Godzilla.

Nope, I'm not opinionated. This is truth, supported by scientific experimentation and post-experiment ibuprofen.

Needed is subjective. Do I need it for volume? Do I need it to get the sound I want? Do I need it for show because I play old school metal and people expect to see big amps? Do I need it because I play best when the sound coming out of my amp matches the sound in my head, regardless of what the FOH sounds like?

Just picked up a Ford Flex. Fold down the rear seats and I can fit my NV610 easily. Perfect bumper height for the balancing point, much easier then my Jimmy. With the back seats down, I can still carry three passengers in full comfort. Push comes to shove, every seat in the Flex folds down, except the driver's seat. I can put an eight foot ladder in the darn thing.
Me likey!

A passenger van with most of the seats taken out and blacked out windows is absolutely perfect. Fuel economy is pretty bad, but other than that, it is the perfect machine. And, as an added bonus, everyone thinks you are a plumber, ax murderer, or undercover government spook when you drive a van. They leave you alone because they don't want to guess wrong.
