I have been using an SWR 900 with a Goliath 4X10 and a Goliath Jr. 2X10. I built a small stand to go between the 2 cabs that tilts the 2X10's up towards me and found that works real well. I would have got another 4X10 cab but I am not into lugging that much gear any more. The tones from the 900 are awesome and I get a nice punchy sound from the 10's. The draw back to the SWR amps are that they get real hot. The chassis are aluminum and I have had the amp shut down from over heating. Not good in the middle of a gig. I drilled holes in my SKB rack and I clip a small Wal Mart fan on the back to keep it cool which works. Kind of silly though. You would think the engineers at SWR who are aware of the heat issues with their amps would have beefed up the cooling system. Instead they reference the issue in the manual stating that it is normal for the amp to get hotter than most others because of the aluminum chassis. I'm sure it is not normal to get thermal melt downs in the middle of gigs. I have used just the amp running line out which allows the use of the pre-amp for recording. It is a great feature. Other than the heat issue I am satisfied with the SWR.
