    Sweetwater commission on impulse purchases

    Like many of you, I impulse buy things on Sweetwater. Do you think the sale engineer gets commission on stuff I order at 11pm without talking with them? I hope they do. Their customer service is a big motivator for shopping there. Can someone shine light on this?

    Why no speakon Daisy chain?

    I recently purchased a pair of Aguilar Sl212. Great cab, but one thing is frustrating. The primary input to the cab is speakon, but to daisy chain the two together the only option is a standard speaker cable. It's 2018, can't we get cabs with 3 speakon instead of 1 speakon, 2 speaker cable?

    Three cab setup?
