Celestion GT75 vs Eminence V12 or Mesa black shadows in a Mesa with 2 vintage 30s ?

[KLINKDETROIT]

I have narrowed down my search to Celestion GT75 / Eminence V12 / Mesa Black shadows.

I will keep 2 of my vintage 30s and replace the 2 top speakers with something with less brittle and less spikey properties than the vintage 30s.

I like these speakers above for their clarity, non offending highs and bass definition as well as the higher wattage and less breakup.

What speakers should I go with in a Mesa oversized 4x12 cab? It is a strait not slanted in any way like the new Mesa cabs. Thanks

Any thoughts on the Celestion century speakers or g12h or classic lead speakers?
I am also entering these into my search for speakers in a Mesa oversized 4x12 cab with 2 v30s in it.

The GT75/V30 mix is awesome. Id do it in an X formation though rather then 1 on top and the other on the bottom. The black shadows from wat ive heard are quite similar to the V30's but a bit brighter which doesnt sound like wat ur after.

Why the x formation? I heard the v30 overpowers other speakers and though maybe having it on the bottom may be better for equaling th volume?
