They're good - just different. Goodmans were actually an additional cost option back then. If you listen to the 2008 VHC Speaker Shootout clips, you'll hear a Goodmans-loaded Hiwatt cab.

In person, it was noticeably (and, unpleasantly) brighter than any other cab in the shootout. The recordings don't quite capture it. Before the shootout, I spent some time playing through that cab and was able to EQ it to sound good to my ears. Good enough that It wound up following me home ;) .

I would definitely pay that price for a good, working pair!
