    Guys,,I need your opinion regarding the SWR Golliath 4X10 I II III
    I played a II that sounded great but have been told that the III sounds better.The Music stores here in Miami dont have one for me to test so therfore the question.Also' is there a diffrence between the newer ones and the pre-fender models?
    I play gospel.
    Thanks,,

    Wow, unfortunately I can't tell you the difference because I've never played through a G III. I think they are rated for higher wattage than the G II. But, I can tell you that a G II with the original drivers is IMO one of the finest cabs ever. If you can get a good one, do it.

    The GIII is a great cab. Before Fender/after fender/during fender...whatever. Nothing bad to say about it. And I think for gospel, it will accentuate its strengths. The II was a great cab as well. Either one is a top notch 410. And, IMO, I pay no attention to that pre/post Fender line of ......

    Dogbass,,you are making it difficult for me to choose because i cant find a III to test.
    The II that i played in the past sounded great but i hear that the III is even better.
    Take care,,

    Take it from an old man.I've owned both and the PAS speakers and the original design are WAY better or should I say warmer than the new ones. David N. knew what he was doing with his ideas.
