I just got my Maz Jr. NR and 2X10 cab in so I'm pretty geeked ;D. The amazing thing was that it only took one week (ordered 2/2 received 2/9) I guess I just got lucky. I ordered the amp from Ray's guitars in MI and the owner Lance drove to Lansing to deliver it (What Service). If your in MI buy from Ray's they were great to deal with and kept in contact throughout the process.
The only thing that sucks is all of my cords are at my church except for one so I can't play it yet and its killing me. I didn't think about the fact that I would need one between the two.
First inpression: The cabinet is much smaller than I imagined but that doesn't matter as long as it sounds great which I'm sure it will. Also I read a post that said to break in the speakers you could run it through a sound system. Is that correct?
Anyways I will let you guys know how it sounds when I finally get to try it out and maybe post some pics of the rig.

Hey Stoneham11, here is a bit that Myles posted about breaking in speakers from a post in Ask the Experts. I think he got from Celestion. The post is called " 'Breaking in' a new Ghia 1-12' but here is what he wrote. Hope it helps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Ghia is not all that hard on speakers, especially the one that comes in the combo, but as the speaker breaks in the amp will just sound and play better. From Celestion: Important Note! Before breaking it in it's advisable to "warm up" the speaker gently for a few minutes with low-level playing or background hum. Break in a speaker with a fat, clean tone: turn up the power amp volume to full, and control the level with the preamp gain. Use a level that will be quite loud, but not painful in a normal size room. Have the bass and mid up full, and the treble at least half. On your guitar, use the middle pick up position (if your guitar has more than one pick up) and play for 10-15 minutes using lots of open chords, and chunky percussive playing. This will get the cone moving, and should excite all the cone modes and get everything to settle in nicely. The speaker will continue to mature over the years, but this will get it 95% of the way to tonal perfection in the shortest time.
