112's GK Neo 112 vs. Epi PS or UL2 112 or GB Neox112

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been looking into going from 2 2x10 cabs to 2 112 cabs mainly because my back is pretty screwed up and I'm sick of schlepping two big cabs.

I've been reading lots of the threads on here about the pros and cons of many of these rockin' little cabs. I'm on a somewhat limited budget.
My amp is a Streamliner 900

Can anyone tell me the differences between the following cabs
GK Neo 112, the GB Neox 112 and Epifanis PS and UL?

My understanding is that the GK is a pretty damn good cab. I even read a review saying it's a cross between two of the Bergantino cabs.

The EPI UL2 packs a serious low end wallop but is mid scooped which makes me wonder how it would pair with the streamliner but what about the PS?

Also, how would these compare to the slightly more expensive GB Neox 112?

I know I need to get out there and play through these cabs but sometimes finding the time and a store nearby that carries any of these options can be difficult.
Thanks.

I have both the GK Neo112's and the Epi PS112's. I find the Epi's just a tad darker sounding. The tweeter is very smooth sounding and not quite as present as the GK's. The Epi's have some serious thunder when paired. The GK's as well but not quite as much as the Epi's. Bear in mind the Epi PS cabs use ceramic mag speakers. The GK's are very light at 30lbs. The Epi's almost 10lbs heavier. The UL's are much lighter about the same as the GK's.

You're right though, you'd need to play YOUR gear through any of these cabs to come to any kind of conclusion.

Well I'm trying to get an idea of what I should try as I will have to go to multiple stores to try out these different cabs. I'm not even sure where I can find a GB Neox in the area.

The last 10 years or so I have not been able to try my cabs beforehand. Avatar, SWR, GK and Epifani were nowhere to be found at any of the local stores in my area.
