“Hello, and a big thank you to everyone at Bergantino! I have been using the HT 112 with a Clarus II for nearly a year now, but it was the past six months of cross-Canada touring which really put it to the test, and convinced me that I got more than I paid for. The characteristic that I love most about this cab is that while it certainly has the guts and depth to handle large rooms and stages, even outdoors, it also has the sensitivity to operate at much lower volumes — which is where most of my work gets done. It never washes out the whole stage, but projects well into the room. The sound is natural and transparent, but not too thin or brittle. Always plenty of support, whether its acoustic folk, a jazz trio, or something much louder. Thank you, and keep up the good work! ” Michael-Owen Liston, Vancouver, B.C., Canada

“Hi Jim. Just bought a NV425 from Alpha Music in Virginia Beach. Gotta tell you…it sounds awesome. Can’t wait to play it at a gig tomorrow night. This cab has incredible sound from my low B all the way up the fretboard. It really produces the sound I dreamed my passive Roscoe Beck V should produce. Thanks for making me the most NV’d bass player in town.” Jeff Tobey – Big Brewster and the Bluerocks

“If you’re waiting for a better 2×10 than this, time is definitely passing you by. It is possible to have hi-fi transparency and agressive volume handling in one cabinet that fits in your back seat – just ask Jim Bergantino. After having tried just about everything, I’ve found THE tone at a price that seriously competes with the other high-end cabinet makers. Now I just need to decide what complements it best: another 2×10 or perhaps the 1×15… Jim, thanks for an increible cabinet, at a great price with flawless customer service. You are a player’s dream. ” Steve Maddern, Atlanta, GA

“I have been an SWR user since 1992. Parting has been sweet sorrow. I feel guilty putting the cover on my Goliath II for the last time. Rest in peace my old friend. When I turn on my Aguilar DB 750 and pump up my HT322, holy crap, what new memories I am making. This cabinet has amazing capacity, punch and clarity. Whether I am playing in an acoustic rock or funk band, this cabinet has the tone, versatility to handle any situation. This cabinet takes the same leap in sound and tone that SWR took from a folded 15″ cabinet back in the late 80’s. ” Chris Sutliff, Denver, Colorado

“Well I got the chance to use my new 112s the other night at rehearsal and it was really nice. I only used the HT112 with my GK RB1001 head. It was plenty loud and I know if I used the other 112 I would have blown them away. Really nice with the weight and size too. I have always been a big fan of BIG cabinets, but these things are great! Thanks for being so helpful and for responding so quickly to my e-mails. My band loves you, I love you and most importantly, my back loves you!” Peace…Rick S.

“Ok. I’ve just spent 2hrs on a FRIDAY night reading all these comments about Bergantino’s cabinets after spending 4hrs at the local guitar shop comparing Ampeg to Fender to SWR to Peavey to Aguilar and of course to Bergantino. I played every combination available among these makes, heads and cabinets both. Hands down the 6×10 Bergantino won me over with it’s seamless transition from highs to lows and exact emulation of my prized Fender Jazz which I spent 2 weeks to find, playing it against every bass available for sale, in Tucson, AZ – literally. I have been playing through a Carvin 1000 head with a Carvin 4×10 and Carvin 1×18. It’s safe to say that I’m switching to the Berg NV610 unless I can find a NV425 or HT322 to listen to first. I have a hunch that I may be able to get a decent sound using my Carvin head along with an Avalon pre-amp. Can you give me some input on this? ”
