I don't see why a Ref 115 wouldn't work fine with it, especially if you want more low end.
Plus, if you decided you like the sound of the Ref 115 by itself, you could get another one.
Yes, I guess that will be my choice if I won’t find any HDN around.
Do you think a couple of refii 115 will work better for that kind of music style, or just add a refii 115 to my HDN?
I'm not a big fan of HF drivers, so I'm the wrong person to ask.
I was thinking of you adding it to the HDN, so you have options of how much zing you want.
Maybe wait for other people to chime in.
There is a Bergantino CN212 here in the classifieds for sale by Britbonic.Hello everyone,
I would like to add a second cab to my hdn 212, as lately I joined a quite loud band (classic rock, grunge) and last time at the rehearsal I was missing some bottom end.
I was thinking to add a second hdn 212 but cannot really find one at the moment.
I found a nice nv115 but don’t really know if a sealed cab will pair nicely with a ported cab.
Does anyone use this kind of stack?
Or maybe better to go with a new ref ii 115? Or just pair another 212 like an nxv?
At the moment using a b-amp, but looking forward for a forte hp2
Keen to buy a stack of ref ii 115 but the hdn 212 needs to go
Thanks View attachment 7079177
It should be very compatible with the HDN.
Thanks so much! But I really forgot to mention that I’m located in Sydney, Australia
Just put an order in to Bass Central.
Of course I do not need the cabinet (have 6 other incredible Bergantinos, and no other branded cabinets) — but the idea of rocking this with my tube heads is just too tantalizing to pass up.
Also — If their website is correct, there still may be one more NV610T waiting for a new home.
I’ve not found mixing sealed and ported (or ceramic and neo) Berg cabs to be optimum. Some combo’s I’ve tried worked better than others…but not optimum.Hello everyone,

NV115 and REF2 115 are both fantastic cabs. Ime, 2x NV115’s sound far better than using only one. The REF2 115 however…sounds amazing in single cab use (but wouldn’t be enough, given your search for a second cab…)
If you plan to keep the HDN212, I’d recommend tracking down any model Berg neo/ported 212 (or 112) cab. An additional 112 does make a volume difference; nice stack height; gives you some use options.

If you aren't going to look into the NV115 could you shoot the classifieds link my way?
Unless it’s the one on OzBass. If so I bought that one a month or so back but he hasn’t taken the post down yet.If you aren't going to look into the NV115 could you shoot the classifieds link my way?
So I had some gigs for a food and wine festival at Disney World this weekend. After the first gig I drove over to Bass Central and got the Ref115. A really great cab. I’ve been wanting a 15 inch berg for a while now. Top notch like all the berg stuff. I’m very pleased with it. I’m running my degier into a Jule Simone(awesome btw) straight into the front of the berg Bamp(my favorite amp) and into the ref115. The singer/guitarist in the band used to tour as a bassist. He’s really into gear and tone. He LOVES the REF115 as well. He could tell the difference between the two nights. We also had a gig today at a fundraiser in the country. The cab was great in all the settings. Pics added.
Im really digging the ref115. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it as a stand alone for most gigs. There’s just something about a 15 that I love. However, if I need a modern slap tone I’ll most likely use one of my other berg cabs with a tweeter. Just my two cents.

The nv115 is located in AustraliaIf you aren't going to look into the NV115 could you shoot the classifieds link my way?
is on eBay
I would think a Berg neo 212 or 210 would be your best bet. You may not be able to find a hdn but I think a Berg neo series would pair. I’ve had a NV115 and I’ve read where players matched them successfully with a ported cab but while I never tried it, I am skeptical. I had a CN112 and a NV115 and was really fortunate to look ahead and sell the NV115 and find a CN210.
If I understand correctly your upgrade was only the x transformer not the increased 3db functionality that Hp2 has/had??
Jim followed up this discussion with he would only upgrade the Hp version one..I didn’t see mention specifically say the 2 power was included in an upgrade. Maybe I misunderstood??
Jim please clarify what the HP upgrade consists of in regard to power increase plus the transformer x. I have the original HP version one. Not sure of the 3db increase is included…Thanks.
