I'm in! Love these cabs, the only thing that really bothers me is that they don't stack well on each other.

You are right -- I also have a 2x10 and a 4x10 and they do not stack up.
I bought a rubber car floor mat for under $5 that fits in between the cabs and lines 'em nice & tight like.

I love my 2 Goliath 3 4x10's, little hesitant about buying a SWR amp though, reading alot about how crappy customer service is since the buy out.
My only customer service experiences are, a faulty new footswitch replaced within 48 hours, and asking for schematics for my old amp and getting emailed them also within 48 hours. I think that's decent customer service.
I've had not a problem dealing with Fender-era SWR's Customer Service. I was having some gain issues with my Mini 'Mo pre a few years back, and after a fair amount of time attempting to track down and finally finding out the problem but needing to replace the unit anyway, they simply gave me a new preamp with a custom fix for the problem. I was kept "in the loop" via e-mail about the status and when the problem was discovered, something that surprised me a great deal.
Also, since it was a "new" unit under Fender it now came with their 5-year Limited Warranty, which was not available on my older pre-Fender SWR Mini 'Mo. As something I can absolutely see them not giving a pre-Fender purchase, I have nothing but high praise for their CS both pre-and-post Fender.
thanx, that is good to know, i just saw a tone of bad ratings on harmony central in only the costumer service but it was probably people from rival companies. I also saw a bunch of bad ones on Warwick basses but i own one and love the sound of their basses, and when mine had the neck set up by some idiot that wasn't one of their certified repair people, the truss rod pulled op cracking my fretboard and was left to freespin, leaving my neck to bow on its own, well no questions asked they sent me a new bass.

For those who are interested in such things, there are some shots of my M2 preamp in the Link Removed.
Hmmm wonder why? Or should I saw why did they not make them the same width?
I recently purchased a brand new SWR 1X15 Son of Bertha and it does not stack well at all with my Goliath IV 4x10.
Just looked at their site it shows the 2x10 and 4x10 being the same width but the 1x15 being 1/4" wider. That makes sense as to why they dont fit well but dosnt about the others unless there is a difference in earlier versions.
Yeah, my Goliath II is 1/2" wider than the Goliath I, so they don't stack well either, kind of a pain.
Re-an corners went out of business, but Neutrik owns their claim on trade dress copyright, a sleazy way of beating the intention of twenty-year patent limitation.
So...the Penn-Elcom corners that SWR uses now can't use the same lock pattern that the Re-an corners had (or even the screw pattern) on the earlier SWR product.
Link RemovedSign me up!! Big Fan. I already own a SWR Goiath Jr. But my dream rig is almost payed off!! I have a SWR SM-1500 and Goliath 8ohm and a Big Ben 1x18 that i will be bringing home in a few weeks. Here is a pic of my rig sittin on layaway for a little bit yet!
