Mesa Traditional 610.

Gigging with mine tomorrow. So far Id say it sounds as good as the heritage 810,maybe a bit better. I'll know for sure after tomorrow.
Ok,I did a show with the mesa cab,Eden 1205 head and my Bongo 5 HH. Lets just say the Ampeg Heritage 810 is on its way out. All of you that wanted the SVT is a smaller package,this is it! She's a keeper!
i've spent the last week rehearsing alone, rehearsing with two bands, recording during two studio sessions and then rockin out at one show last night using both the traditional powerhouse 6x10 and the vintage powerhouse 6x10 with the mesa prodigy and the mesa strategy. all i can say is wow, these are great heads and cabinets. my favorite amp is a late sixties ampeg svt thats part of a studio i frequent and i think the 6x10 plus the voice 4 setting on the amps comes very close. miking the 6x10 and going DI out of the amp gets a huge tone for the rock studio sessions i just did. amazing!
it was possible to transport the 6x10s in the back of a 4-door toyota, but i wouldnt recommend doing that regularly!
the strategy with the vintage powerhouse 6x10 at the gig yesterday:

Now Im seriously thinking about an M9 Carbine to go with the Traditional 610 cab. I think it would be a great match. Thoughts?
Also, the 810 is available in 8 ohms, which means they have a sealed cab friendly driver that could be used in a 4 ohm 4x10. Does mesa sell raw drivers?
Picked up a Mesa 610 Traditional from another TB'er a few months back, and pair with a Mesa BB750 - Hands down the best sounding rig I have ever played, and could not be happier with it. Sounds full and tight at the same time (if that makes sense...). I do not miss the horn at all, but I should note, I used to roll them off on my old Mesa PH410 and PH212 anyway. All in all...it definitely has vintage tone to it, but it destroys all the other cabs I have owned or used as part of a back-line.
I should note, also, I have never used the NV610...or any other Berg cab. I have used SWR, Ampeg, Gk, Hartke, Mesa, Marshall, Sunn, Peavey, and of course the no-name stuff that's out there as well.
Hope this helps! Here's how it stacks up next to my MTD KH5 w/ Barts.....
