“I find myself blessed to live in the only city in western Canada to have a Bergantino dealer (Edmonton, Ab). 😀 I very recently purchased an AE410 and gigged with it that night. (Run through an S.W.R. Headlite and Amplite for the 2nd cab) This is the best sounding cab I’ve ever heard in my life and very intensely well worth every single solitary cent I paid for it. I never thought I would be able to drop that large of an amount of money on a single 410 cab and not have that nagging fear of “Omg why did I do that?, this better work out!”, rather the opposite is the case and I find myself now fully jonesing for another AE410 to replace the other Big Brand Name 410hlf enclosure (which I always thought was great and still mostly is but now kinda sounds like a boomy cardboard box compared to your stuff) that I’m now currently using underneath the AE410. Fully apparent to me is; very much like a particular enclosure manufacturer up here in Canada whom I won’t name here, your products are built as “Cabs for life” ” Thanks folks! You guys totally rock!!

“Mr. B: I have a single 1×12″ that I bought about a year ago. It did quickly become my favorite gigging setup, the EX112 (not the ER) and G-B Shuttle 6.0. We play three theaters per month and use the p.a. provided (all pretty good systems). I use my rig for stage volume and let the sound guys do their things. Last night, there was a new soundman and he couldn’t isolate a problem with the piano. During the show, they asked me if my DI cable worked (it did), and could I please give my cable to the pianist? I took the Bergantino off the amp stand, placed it on the wooden stage floor. This is a renovated movie theater, on the List of Historic Places or whatever they call it. I turned the amp up a few notches and continued playing. At intermission, the theater manager, an old, former touring bassist, told me to turn up just a little, and the second half went great. Now, true, this is a theater, not a dance, not a club. But, it seats 235 including the balcony, and it is nice to know that I actually could use just the one 1×12″ and Shuttle head and play the room if necessary(as last night). Kudos on a great product. I planned to get a second ER, but I understand that they are discontinued, before I was financially ready to purchase. A friend of mine uses your 2×10 exclusively now, and it, too, is a fine cabinet. Thanks, again, for backing me up when I brag to my friends about your workmanship. ” Mike Estep – Louisiana

“Took me years of searching, selling, and trying new gear, and now there is no need to search any longer. Two AE 210’s driven by my Thunderfunk 750 watt head, and sweetened by a Sadowsky outboard preamp/di, and my Lull bass = absolute bass heaven. Until the guitarist complains or the drummer f#$%&ks up. Solid, fat, crisp, even tone all night. ” Dave P., San Luis Obispo, CA
