No, it probably won't. They're different amps, and only a small part of an amp's sound comes from the speaker.

Speakers are fickle from the way they are designed.

The amp manufacturer designed their amps around a certain brand, model and batch of speaker usually made by another company.

It's a toss as to changing out a speaker.

Sometimes one gets lucky.

But unless one takes the effort to study each speaker's specs, blanketing the idea that changing a speaker will work, is a gamble.

Best to try the speaker swap and see if you like it.

Too many factors involved to ask for an absolute answer.

Even speakers of the same brand and model sound different from each other.

Some with 2-speaker amps like a Twin will change one of the speakers to another model or brand just to get the odd couple effect.

Well, if only a small part of the sound comes from the speaker, where does the rest of the sound come from? The handle?

well, the stock N112 speaker, as far as I am concerned, is pretty MID strong. Moving it to another amp may just make the new amp MID strong ! Whoa!
