Best 2x12 speaker pairing with T75 for in-room tone?

I'm thinking about changing things up in my KSR vertical 2x12 that currently has a V30 and H75 Creamback. I only care about how it sounds in the room, not how it'll cut through a mix or sound recorded, so I'm thinking about something more scooped like a T75. What would people recommend to pair it with? Would moving the V30 to the bottom and having T75 on top be my best bet, or maybe the new Eminence Karnivore?

My playing ranges from edge of breakup stuff like Modest Mouse to brutal and slam death like Suffo, PeelingFlesh, Defeated Sanity which obviously all like their scooped mids. So not having something that sounds very sterile with lower gain would also be ideal
 
Oddly enough I have a the KSR 2x12 HW but it has a Redback/V30. Might swap the redback out for the H75. I also am on the wait list for a Karnivores
 
Currently running a 1960b with 2 t75’s up top and 2 Marshall labeled v30’s on the bottom. I like the blended combo, and I feel the v30 adds a little bit of mids back, but it’s not as dramatic as I thought it would have been. I’m going to put the other 2 t75’s back in this weekend and keep as is, for reference, I’m playing through a Golub crunch modded JMP (think smoother, fuller 800) paired with a Suhr SE100. I think t75’s by them selves would be fine, but mixing a v30 wouldn’t be a bad idea.
 
Maybe the G12H Anniversary would be a safer bet than the T75. Listening to a bunch of The Other John Browne's in-room sound comparisons with V30s that one is standing out (granted he hasn't done a vid on the T75). I think there's just something about the H75 Creamback that I don't like that much, so maybe I'll swap that one out for the Anni and possibly try the Anni on top of the V30 so that I hear more of its character
 
T75 (make sure it's the old one - less scooped not harsh at all) + Mojotone BV30 or if you want to go the Celestion way - T75 + Greenback
