So I’m rolling with one Mesa Traditional slant with V30’s on the bottom, and WGS ET-65’s on the top, and loving it. Punchy as fuck with nice highs and crunch from the 65’s. It’s a killer combo. The other Traditional slant has V30’s on the top, and K 100’s on the bottom. I dig the K100’s, they’ve got a ton of low end and sound huge, but I’m wanting something tighter and punchier, the 100’s are rounder and more resonant. I’ve got some WGS Invader 50’s on the way, so I’ll put the V30’s on the bottom, cause I hate those all up in my face, and the Invaders on top. Every clip I’ve heard of those sounds great. Both slant cabs have Beam Blockers in the top rows, and they’re game changers. They eliminate all of that directional, laser beam, harshness that slant cabs throw at you. They actually make a slant sound as smooth as a straight, while still projecting sound upward. I can’t recommend these enough.
 
I recommend Fane F90’s. I have K100’s too and imo the F90’s are like a better version of those. They’re bigger, tighter, punchier, clearer, but they are more smooth/neutral in the mids compared to Celestion’s and also maybe more of a rounder sound, so maybe not exactly what you’re after

Metal guys seem to overlook them, but I love the Alnico Gold’s. They’re my favorite non-vintage speakers, in fact the only ones that I may keep. They also pair beautifully with V30’s. Don’t let the Alnico throw you off, they’re plenty tight, bright, cutting and articulate, but with the Alnico warmth and silky feel. They have some nice low mid growl. They sound surprisingly beefy yet also similarly bright and cutting to V30’s, but not harsh, more musical and nice round highs. Quite efficient speakers too. Pricy though because of the Alnico magnets

I currently have the Gold’s crossed with vented T75’s in my Kerry Wright 412 and it’s a great combo. I did a reamping a week ago with my friend for his new song using that cab and speakers and it sounded terrific
 
WGS Reaper 30's. They are such a well eq'd speaker imo. I am toying with the idea of using 4 in my cab but i read one of their guys loves the Retro 30 so i'm probably going 2 and 2. I think the Retros have bigger bass and a tad more upper mid...
