MAte---if U wasnt THE authentic vintage cab to go with the VR..........the NV610 IS THE way to go!! I got a SVT2(non-pro) & I A?B'd an Ampeg 810E with the NV610 & the NV610 won in ALL areas!! Hands down. More punch, clarity(w/out ANY modern sounding-ness) distinction in upper & lower register, easier to move-lighter........just BETTER ALL ROUND - ALL IMHO of course...but there are MANY who'll agree with me- check out TALKBASS.COM & search NV610 Bergantino. Sounds AWESOME with the SVT2-which is one of the closest in design to the VR & early SVT's-NO master vol/Gain set up!! NV610's also handle OVERDRIVE beautifully. The Spkrs in it are specially voiced to compensate for the lack of horn etc.. & just the other week (when no-one was home) I cranked the SVT2 up to FLAT OUT, pointed the NV610 out the security doors-so it was pointing outside-I live in rural area!! :-) MAN did THAT sound fantastic!!!!!! No signs of the NV610 NOT handling the power, just pure sweet power tube overdrive...AWESOME. I HAD a SVT410HLF before the Berg. & that would 'fart out' anywhere near 5 & over on the VOLUME....Not so with the NV610.
If U R after top end "ZING", modern slap top end snap- look elsewhere-EDEN etc... But(altho I do slap thru the 610 quite regularly & sounds GREAT) if U R after pure tube vintage tone the sealed, tight, sweet response of the NV610 is IT IMHO/IME I've not heard better.

Oh & as far as size & manouverability goes..... this is a winner also. The SVT410HLF I used to own was far harder to manouver!!! I actually put skid rails on my NV610's rear. If U PM me I can send U some pics if U like. I just used solid plastic(recycled) garden stakes-black too. Just bought two-cut em at right length, shaped the ends, sanded 'em......... it's even easier to move now. Wasn't hard B4- but now I just tilt/roll. tilt onto it's back & slide. At 98lbs it's lighter than a lotta 410s also. Thinner than the 410HLF was too. All in all...I'm SO glad I got this cab-it's a KEEPER!!!!

[quote name='Machines' post='148779' date='Feb 29 2008, 08:30 AM']I tried a few Bergantino cabs at Music Live last year. They sound utterly fantastic... and aren't that badly priced.

Our very own poptart is the UK dealer for them - check them out here: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/[/url][/quote]

Yes - definitely contact Mark at [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk[/url] - he's got a proper demo facility for Bergantino & is a top guy...
