Is there a big difference between these two Carvin 4x10s?

[JasonKain]

Hello. I've done a couple searches on Carvin amps, and I haven't really found the info I'm looking for. I'm going to be buying a head and cab in a few months, and I'm really interested in getting a 4x10. All I've read on Carvin 4x10s says that the neo speakers are superior, but I have a small point of confusion. All the mentions I've heard have been for the Link Removed, yet there's a Link Removed. Is the BR series inferior to the BRX?

The specs look fairly similar...4 ohms each, 4 300w 10" woofers, 1" titanium driver, so on and so forth. The only point of difference I note is frequency response. The BRX lists 26 Hz to 22k Hz, while the BR lists 53 to 20K Hz -3dB - useable to 38 Hz @ -10dB

Is this a big difference? The fifty dollar price difference isn't huge on the one hand, but I admit to being vain. I'm looking at the BR because I can get it in white to match the head I'm getting, but I don't want to hamstring myself if it's going to be a noticeably inferior amp. Does anyone have experience comparing these two models?

Thanks for any assistance.

The BR410 and the BR410N cabs are 8 ohm cabs, not 4 ohms. Only the BRX10.4 is a 4 ohm cab with 1200 w capability. The BRX10.4 is the big brother to the BR410N. I've got both the BR410 and the BRX10.4 Neo cab and the BRX blows the BR away. I've got both the SBR1018 and the SBX410 and currently am using the SBX410 for all my gigs in the 3 bands I play with, it's all the amp I will ever need. Plus, the BRX is covered in DuraTex scratch resistant, weatherproof polyurethane.

Whether you're a Carvin lover or not, the BRX Neo is one badass cabinet.

Both of the links the OP provided are 4 ohm units. I wish I could try a BRX10.4.

The specs on the website read like this:

- 4 Neodymium 300w 10” woofers,
- Titanium HF driver
- Imp: 4ohms, power handling: 1200 Watts
- Reproduces Frequencies from low B (26 Hz to 22k Hz)
- Sensitivity: 104dB @ 1w and 135 dB @ 1200w

I'm skeptical about a lot of that stuff. Also, I'm not sure what the rigorous definition of 'Reproduces Frequencies From' is.

Could still be a good sounding box, I just don't think you should read too much in to any of that.

I believe the BR series cabs are sealed and the BRX series cabs are ported. I recently purchased a BRX10.4 Neo. I have only had it a couple of days, but so far I'm very happy with the sound.
