You have great british/classic speaker & cab combinations, but have you thought about going with something ultra clean?
For the most part I use eminence & celestion, but I also have a 2/12 loaded with JBL's from the 80's (e series I believe). I got the idea after learning that Albert Lee like using the higher quality speakers in order to retain a cleaner sound at higher volumes (at the time he used Music Man amps, w/JBL's). I know as guitar players - we like our speakers to break up, but having a cabinet loaded with JBL's, EV's or even a set of Fanes can often give you another tonal color to choose from, or combine with your existing setups.
Of course - those all come with hefty price tags
. A less expensive alternative to would be a set of Black Widows from PV, or less expensive yet a set of Scorpions from PV, although I find the Scorpions lack too much mid for my tastes.
