I have a 2x12 with one Greenback and one G12t-75. I think that would do what you’re looking for.
The greenback is actually a Splawn Small Block. They are made by Eminence and are basically a 55W Greenback. They sound fantastic. You have to buy them through Splawn though. Iirc $95....?

You sure about this info on the Small Blocks?? Not doubting you, just that I have a splawn cab with SBs and know nothing about the speakers other than they are Splawn Small Blocks and sound good.. haha So, its nice to have some background knowledge

That’s the way I always understood it. I got whatever info I know from the Splawn fans forum.

Splawn speakers are made by Eminence, or at least they were. So while those Small Blocks may be based on a Celestion Greenback, they aren't Celestions.

I've heard the GB128. Never the 1258. But they aren't the same speaker as far as I know. The GB128 is supposed to be the inexpensive Legend series "copy", or based on, the Celestion Greenback. Eminence has a couple other speakers that get play on the forums as being close to Greenbacks. Plenty of debate about which ones sound the closest.

I think you are already in that Greenback territory with your Splawn Small Blocks.

My current 4x12 load up is my favorite of all my years of owning 4x12s. EVH Greenbacks on top and H30s on bottom. So crunchy and full, without all of the icepicky V30 thing. I've ditched all of my V30s.

I also have a Creamback 65-loaded Friedman 1x12 that sounds great, but the 4x12 has such a full, satisfying sound.

Correct. Unless I missed it, I don’t think anyone claimed they were Celestions....?

My Quickrod 4x12 is loaded with Smallblocks and it's the best sounding slant cab I've ever had. I'm normally more of a straight cab guy.

No, nobody did. But in your earlier post you stated ... "I have a 2x12 with one Greenback and one G12t-75. I think that would do what you’re looking for.

I know what you were saying but I thought it may have been unclear to Bloodrose based on his reply. So, I just posted what I did for clarity.

They really are phenomenal speakers, aren’t they. I’ve recommended them several times and afaik, nobody has bought them. Their loss.

If greenbacks are too expensive, go for a quartet of eminence private jacks. They are better sounding speakers anyway IMHO
