NAD: Gallien Krueger 200MB-II

[tauzero]

I had a 200MB for years, the original speaker expired and I put a replacement in that wasn't as good, eventually found I could get a Pyle speaker identical to the original so got that and it was good again. I eventually found I wasn't using it any more and sold it. Now I find that a tiny combo weighing just over my 10kg limit would fill my needs for some things I'm doing, and @Thornybank pointed me at one at Fair Deal Music. Dropped in there today, gave it a quick whirl (I'd forgotten just how loud they go), and took it away with me. Jam night tonight so that'll be its first outing.

Ain't it 'andsome!

Lovely amps. But you already know that...

 

I sold mine last year to a good friend who fell in love when I loaned it to him for a small club gig a couple of years ago.

 

Unique little critters these most certainly are, but I've got way too many amps as it is so I can't say that I reaaly miss mine.

 

Enjoy yours.

Rats. I think it has fallen victim to the dreaded speaker foam brittleness blight. Took it to a jam night tonight and it started getting rattlier and quieter, which is exactly how my previous one went. I shall consult with Fair Deal in the morning.

For the last 11 years I’ve been thinking one of these would be perfect for one of my gigs. But now that gig has dried up to maybe 3-4 a year max, so seems a bit pointless!

 

Hope you get yours sorted @tauzero

Took it back to Fair Deal today and they've booked it in for a repair after taking the side off (with my assistance) and finding that the speaker had disintegrated, as I'd predicted. Just hope that they can source the correct replacement - I did tell them that Polar Audio stock them.

Fingers crossed!
