Just wanted to drop you guys a note and say how pleased I am with the new AE212. I have an NV610 and NV215 and found those to be the lighweights and easy to move but this AE212 is so much easier and the sound from that box really rocks the house. I play in two bands and no one can believe the sound and this after listening to the NV's for quite some time.
My back and ears just want to say THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great stuff!

I have played all my life and am 52 yrs old. I have owned many brands of bass cabinets. I am ruined if it isn’t a Bergantino. I just don’t want it. Jim has absolutely taken all other options away from me. I have tried some of the other cool new products out there and they come and go but my Bergantino HS210 is here to stay.

I bought a new NV412- my first Bergantino cabinet- a couple of weeks ago and I just wanted to say that I could not be happier. The sound is simply stunning: warm, thick, rounded, full; yet tight, controlled, 'punchy' (when you want it to be) and clear. The build-quality is astonishingly good; better than any other 'High-End' cab' I've ever seen. Even the quality of the cover is unimpeachable: it's an absolute joy to own and to play.

I can’t believe that I have said for the past two years nothing can replace MB cabinets for sound and weight, well I was so very wrong. I walked in Club Bass yesterday for an amp bag only and after been explained the difference and checking reviews on my iPhone about your cabinets, I walked out with a new AE112 cabinet, and as soon as i got home hooked it up to my MB Fusion Head and using a ‘59 p-bass, WOW What a difference, clear, tight with lots of bottom end and awesome highs. Not muddy at all and no frumpy sound coming from the speaker which just kills a good mix with a full band. After that I a/b’ed the Berg and MB cabinets one at a time and both together, AE112 wins hands down for overall sound. Next Purchase another AE112 or maybe AE210. Anybody wants a great deal on NY112 Cabinet. Anyway, thank you Bergantino for listening and making what all bass players should have as there cabinets.

Hello Jim,
I currently have two of your wonderful HS210 cabs. I pair them with an Aguilar DB751 amplifier and a Fender P-Bass with flat wounds. For the first time in 40 years of bass playing I have a combination that matches what my minds ear hears. The cabinets handle every watt I can throw at them and the tone is incredible. I use one for practice and two for shows. I've gotten many compliments on my tone from audience members in the know. Thank you Jim I have been GAS free for almost two years and that in itself is really saying something. Your cabinets are the only cabinets I even consider. I have owned the following Bergantino cabinets at one time or another HS410 x 2, NV610 x 2, HT12ER, EX12ER, HT115 and lastly HT210. I settled on the two HS210's for tone and portability reasons. Although I keep thinking I may need to go back to the NV610. Never was able to try the ones I ownded with the Aggie but I just know that combination would be really something. - Lex

Hi Jim. Been using only your mini stacks for many years, from a single cab to several stacks at a time depending on the venue. Decided to get under the band a bit more so I picked up a NV 610 from Bass Northwest a couple months ago. Love the 610, what can I say. Clean, punchy, defined; sounds great really loud, or at a moderate volume. Oh the tone – always makes me smile. Easy to load and unload and move around. Seems like I go through amps every couple years, but the one constant to my sound are Berg cabs. Love em all. Wish I could own em all, but have to be reasonable. Thanks for your dedication to us bass players Jim.

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.

Mr. B:
I have a single 1x12" 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 1x12" 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 2x10 exclusively now, and it, too, is a fine cabinet.
Thanks, again, for backing me up when I brag to my friends about your workmanship.

I find myself blessed to live in the only city in western Canada to
have a Bergantino dealer (Edmonton, Ab). :D
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!!
