Installed a g12k100, played around with it for a bit, but it sounded more boxy then my previous stock peavey speaker. It had better definition but Im not really liking the scooped or top end sizzle it has. For reference to the boxiness:

I think it sounds ok, but I want something bigger sounding like the stock speaker had:
(skip to 32 second, it ends at 1min 10 secs)

I want something that kind of blends both those sounds. The g12k100 has too much high end sizzle for my taste (the recording doesnt really capture it), it's a bit too scooped (I had to turn the mids up a bit, probably why the boxiness is there). It has good definition but really suffers at lead tones because there is no punch.
The stock speaker has great bass response, it sounds way bigger but the top end is way too smooth and doesnt have much definition, it has better PRESENCE response with leads and riffs but the top end really isnt there. It doesnt cut through as well as the g12k100 though in the mids department, but again the g12k100 sounds too boxy.
I was eyeing the Eminence Governor v128, but im not sure. Also ive tried a vintage 30, too spikey for my taste, any reccomendations that kind of blends both examples above together? There is a drastic sound character change. This is for a 1x12, i dont have the funds right now to invest in a 2x12, maybe in the future.
