Gallien Krueger 212 Neo speaker replacement

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi everyone.
I'm a proud owner of GK Neo1001RB/ 212 combo and in need to replace speaker (actually two). I bought it with one original not working and another is some Eminence Alpha just for now untill I replace it.
I've got good price on this combo so no complains.
Here is the question.

What can be a replacement from Eminence for these speakers (300watt, 16 Ohm)?
Is there a recone kits available for GK neo speakers?

I contacted few places and everyone said they have to contact GK to request recone kits,but I called GK and they don't sell recone kits for their speakers (that's what I was told).

Yes,they have replacement speakers available for $179.99 a piece. Plus shipping it will cost me $400. that's why I'm exploring all venues.

Anybody has any info?

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure GK design their own speakers. Not 100% sure but I seem to remember an interview where Bob said he wouldn't trust another speaker with the way he designs his amps. If you want to stick with the GK sound then I am pretty sure you are going to have to deal with them.....one way or another.

Thanks for reply.
That's what I probably will do.
Maybe I'll be lucky to buy 212 neo somewhere cheap and use speakers from it for my combo. (wishful thinking though )
