Hi I recently acquired a Tech 21 landmark 120 bass combo and have since discovered the speaker is blown, the speaker is still working and goes really loud but even at low volumes it is constantly distorted so I imagine the speaker is fixable by the right hands but otherwise can anyone suggest a good replacement speaker for the amp?

Landmark 120 replacement speaker

Did you
Did you ever find an answer? My 120 is buzzing. A few years ago when it was buzzing, I opened it up and discovered that my kids had pushed a few plastic toys in through the bass port on the back. My kids are teenagers now, and the amp has been in our rehearsal space in my friend's garage for a few years, so it can't be toys. I suspect it really is the speaker this time. It's still usable. I may need to bring it home and open it up and see what's going on in there...

Looks like the speaker is an OEM design by Eminence. You should be able to contact them and get a replacement recommendation.
You mean contact Tech 21? Yeah, I just wrote to them. I wrote to them years ago, and they were helpful, so we'll see.
I would also contact Eminence. According to the manual I found, the cab uses a custom Eminence driver. I doubt that driver is produced anymore or in stock anywhere. Eminence will have the specs though, and may be able to recommend a driver they currently produce as a suitable replacement.
