Thanks to all here who helped with reviews, feedback, & suggestions when I was looking to buy.

A small wish was to work on the surface for better tear long term with NEO IIIs or something like that. Meanwhile, what are you others doing to protect the top part at setup time? |

I guess you could lay a towel down, or, a rubber automotive floor matt cut to fit. Quote:

Shuttlemax 9.2 \ GK NEO 412 
Streamliner 900 \ GK 115 III stack 
Both are awesome period. You can spend more cash elsewhere but built in the USA GK gear is FANTASTIC.

to my ear; ymmv, etc. | I had a pair of the Neo210 cabs, and have a pair of the Neo112-II cabs. IMHO, there's a generational diff there. The voicing seemed very different to me, and I don't think it was just because of 10's vs 12's. I think the line was actually re-voiced. |

Yes, I know the 212 has the caster cups and the 115 doesn't, but I fixed that.  |

Yes, your 12's are II's. I believe your 212's are too. |
