All user reviews for the SWR Son Of Bertha

What motivated me to choose this speaker is first the power that can baffle encaisser.En effect with 350 watts this cabinet are in the stomach (nothing to do with the 200 watt Ampeg all soft). In addition, this speaker is very dynamic, especially for a 15-inch (102 db sensitivity) so that even used one you can do anything (the tweeter provides a non-negligible). I use it now with a 2 ' SWR 10 (Goliath Jr.) and a SWR SM900 head and all I could do without the 2'10 4'10 to go on, both the 15 ', impossible to play without me.

SOUNDS

The frequency curve is fairly neutral, even if low frequencies are necessarily privilegies.Le strong point of this cabinet is the definition in the sound (never heard bass as well defined) and especially those that are very dynamique.En moves the large ca pTis calves when one is near the baffle. ^ ^ Finally the speaker is fairly neutral so complies with the type of sound from the amp head and the bass is superbly defined and dynamic.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year soon.
What I like most: ALL except perhaps (and even compared to another it's all good) weight (26 kgs) which is quite big but the grips Reinforced help greatly transport.Avant I try to acquire the 15 'Ampeg (good bah ... CLEAR) and then other speakers were quick but in a price range and much lower quality.
I had my own nine 690 euros in stores: and I say thank you to all those who buy me Ampeg.Le seller lowered the price because he said that from the moment he is not Ampeg labeled it happens to sell. ^ ^ If the list price was 850 euros.C is quite expensive but it's the stuff we al so pro at this level we begin a first look and not a sound budget.

I play on triple body, ideally 300w mosfet amp, one 15 "and 4x10". My 15 "did not suit me more. I was looking for a powerful speaker of 8 ohms, with a tweeter (for the times I played with one speaker). In addition, as many people love the deep bass and pr cises. Optionally, if he could have taken Speakon ..

Sensitivity 102 dB SPL 1W/1m
Adjustable Tweeter
Correct weight (30 kg)
Small footprint
Great sound!
... Speakon and jack.

SOUNDS

I love the sound of this speaker. I play with sometimes alone, sometimes with the full stack. The bass is never messy, it's hot, round, prcis, powerful.

My amp is an Ampeg SVT III. I was afraid to mix the two brands that have a philosophy (at least in my opinion) Different. I tried ... and I won t. The sound first, then philosophies.

OVERALL OPINION

I have over 2 years, great sound, practical grips, I can easily load in the car, get a hand on the stairs without being dtruit upcoming concert, the tweeter is adjustable and it's great practice, I had no idea how to use it before.

I do it again with the exprience Obviously this choice.

I dj on jou Pentatonic, Peavey, Hartke, Hughes & Kettner ... but the one does not play in the same CATEGORY.

Perfect.

Tried this week with a jazz bass american deluxe in an SM-500 and Goliath III.
I do not believe the 15 "but I had the opportunity to try and compare the goliath Goliath Jr. III and IV and see if the description was the SWR pipe or not.


SOUNDS

Momentum huge for a 15. "All those I have tried were soft but the slip there ... I was amazed.
Used alone without any problem, it will make the whole spectrum of the lowest and please the finger as a pick to slap! It remains clear, helping the tweeter sounds much safer for adding some "definition" even if I play without Me.

It also will add the bottom and the presence of a 4X10 keeping a terrible potato! All Goliath III + SOB really amazed me! I play without tweeter, Ampeg sound fashion, antique and very warm. it moves air!

I was initially left on a 2X10 in addition, but it was a Goliath Junior Series IV, therefore made in mexico and I invite you to read my opinion on it as really "made in mexico ".... it sucks!

OVERALL OPINION

I finally did not buy because there was a little moldy around on the HP and it made me a little scared (I'm very quirk. ^ ^) And frankly without it I jumped on it immediately! In addition the owner looked legit and everything ... it made me feel sick to leave there ... but when you're good quirk ...
So I am looking for another OCCAZ 'but it's hard to find ... Not a
