New GK MBE Series II cabs - when?

[srayb]

Does anyone know when these cabs will be available, what specs on them are and if they'll cost a lot more than the current MBE cabs? I'm close to making a purchase but wondering if I should wait for the Series II.

Thanks!

Cost may go up some as all cab and amp production is back in the USA now.
As far as when? Email [email protected]

As an example, I'm hearing July for the MBE 210 Series II cabinet, with a MAP of $349 (vs $299 for the original).

What info is there about these ?

What changes might there be , like in 212MBE ?
I have one, and like it quite well.

Also, does this mean gk china plant is not continuing ?

thx

Where do you guys hear about these new GK products coming out? I keep checking their site and I see nothing new

G-K's site is the last place to look Mags and online ads are the source.

The only bass site I visit is this one, what else would you recommend?
I live in South Africa, Bass Mags are scarce and expensive :/

Any news on these?

I heard the new series (II) will probably be sometime in 2013.

On another note, I've noticed that the current series of MBEs have had a price increase (around 25%) most likely due to them now being built in the USA instead of China.

I'm sure the price of Neo speakers has a lot to do with it too. I just had a cab built by Don at LDS that was originally going to have Neo's. After educating me about the market, we went with a lightweight cab with regular ceramic speakers. At least if I blow a driver down the road, I won't be paying an arm and a leg.
