This may be a really stupid question, but it GK the only amp manufacturer that makes the speak-ons that take a 1/4" as well? Or do they all do that? I've never used speakon so I'm a bit cornfused.
Many manufacturers are using the combo sockets. That said the Speakon is an all round better connector and I would advise using them solely. Every cabinet I own of any kind now sport Speakons.
