Kemper Kone not available to buy

Apologies in advance if you feel I should post this elsewhere. I want to buy a Zilla 2x12 cab and load it with Kemper Kones. I’ve spent quite a bit of time coming to a decision on the spec of my zilla cab. Basically I am ready to push the button so the first thing I needed to do is order a couple of Kemper Kones. The only problems is that the Kemper website says they are unavailable to buy and is suggesting 120 days for shipping. Anyone (Kemper?) have any insight on this and do you think it will really take that long before they are available to buy???

I have also sent an email to Kemper support but was just wondering if anyone knows of anything

Could be supply chain issues affecting availability.

It’s in stock on the US site, but unavailable everywhere else. The reverse was true a while back.

Ruefus, looks like you are correct. My response from Kemper Support:

Thank you for your email. Celestion manufactures the Kones in China. We are hoping to receive the next shipment at the beginning of 2022.

No precise date is available.

With best regards, Hans

We desperately need to get manufacturing back to US/EU countries.

Let’s not have this discussion here. Wrong place.
