been looking through the threads for some new options. I've seen whats on most popular sites like musicians friend, and heard of a couple down home companies - lophat, earcandy, but still looking for other options.
i wanted the earcandy - but cant wait 5 months to get one, now im thinking the genz benz 2x12 cause i know i can score one.
any other suggestions? |

GK was my choice due to cost and weight. If I had roadie and a different wife (you figure it out) I'd have gone with Mesa.

dont get the 500 watt neo's unless your not going to be pushing it. But get the delta 1000 watt cab(they offer them now as an upgrade)
You will not be dissapointed
Just remember, although some people will doubt the theory. When you recieve the cab it will be needed to break it in for a short while, but after that...
WOW |

I don't own one, but I have auditioned them a couple of times. I like them and wouldn't hesitate too pick up a couple of them. I own a couple of 12" Scout Radiators. I like those, too. |

I played the Mesa 212 with the 700RB-II at Guitar Center in Natick, MA.
It is sweet, but the GK Neo was heavy enough for me (old guy...  )

I ran a pair of them for a long time. My personal favorite 212 is the GB Uber212... It is an old school sounding cabinet yet very clean and tight at higher volumes vs the 212XLT. JMHO   |

AFAIK that brings the choices down to the G-B Neox and....and....well, somebody else will have to chime in if they know of another. |
