I e-mailed BassNW for a price on the NV610 this morning, I got this response

"Thanks for the e-mail. Please be aware that Bergantino has just discontinued the NV610 model and there are only a couple of them left for sale at this time."

And then some other stuff like pricing and all that. Well this certainly sucks.

but then most of the HT line was also discontinued. whats left but the IP cabs and HT/EX112? i doubt the IPs are going to sell in large volume. i would have guessed that keeping at least the 610 in the line was a good idea but i dont know much! :)

I didn't think about the sadowsky/berg. cabs either. Could those could be "replacing" the nv610?

I really don't know. Either way, I've never played a Bergantino product I didn't like. It really is a shame though.

(EDIT)Either way, I think it's pretty safe to say that Jim Bergantino has a pretty solid head on his shoulders. He knows what he's doing.

Very surprising considering how highly regarded the NV610 is.

That said, business may have dictated that no matter how well the cabinet is received, other cabinets probably sell in much higher volumes. (HT/EX112's, HT322. 210S, the new IP line of cabinets etc)

While there is a place in the world for a Vintage style cabinets with no tweeters, I for one, still prefer having a tweeter that I can either use or turn off.

I am currently saving my pennies for an IP112. I have a feeling that will be the ultimate, gig and 'back' friendly holy grail.

As I said, if people really clamoured to Jim about not doing away with this line (and if more people bought them), we might be able to talk him into keeping them around. This is my personal plot to force him into continuing to offer these cabs to us - the few, the proud, the NV-lovers! :D

You're not alone: I've needled at Jim with Emails a few times also.

IMHO, Jim should ( I dont know his reasoning or his opinion on this I just think this would work out better) still produce the NV series based on demand. If a person emails him, calls him, or talks to him and specifically says they want a certain cab from the NV series, it would be really cool if he could make one of them on order with a serious (80% or so) downpayment so he doesn't get screwed over.

I just think that would make sense...

He is an amazingly nice guy though, just remember he is a business man too, so whatever makes money, I say he should do. I support him with his decision on whatever he does (until I actually try to get a NV425 and cant which will come in about a month).

I do have much respect for the man. He can do whatever he feels like doing, he is the cabinet god after all...:bassist:
