If you've got a permanent gig, go for it, but I lugged one around for only a short while when I was in my 20's. I wouldn't even consider it now. glocke Senior Member Username: glocke Post Number: 418 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Monday, August 18, 2008 - 11:17 am:    ditto on the cabinet... Ive known people who have the 8x10 and they pretty much stay in one place...its pretty much like hauling a refridgerator around 2400wattman Senior Member Username: 2400wattman Post Number: 577 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Monday, August 18, 2008 - 11:29 am:    I use the 8x10 and have loved it but I would'nt take one out if I did'nt have help from my band members. I am thinking about moving to a bi-amp rig for more clarity/separation. crobbins Intermediate Member Username: crobbins Post Number: 170 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Monday, August 18, 2008 - 7:31 pm:    I love my 1971 SVT... howierd Member Username: howierd Post Number: 78 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 7:12 pm:    I sold my 1973 SVT cab a couple of years ago on ebay for 960.00 to a guy in Ohio. He drove to VA. to pick it up. He has 3 Svt cabs in 3 different locations so he doesn't have to move them.

It's not that they sound bad, actually quite the "bang for the buck" especially the SVT 4 Pro, reliability is the issue and why I no longer use their amps and have sold them off.
