Please help with this speaker choice!

Hey guys, I have a Hiwatt 4x12 that's filled with old Vintage 30s and G12H's. The problem is the cab sounds great BUT has a scoop in the mids that creates problems cutting through the mix over my other guitarist. He uses an avatar contemporary 4x12 with Vintage 30s and it has dramatically more mids than my Hiwatt cab. I can't afford a new cab so I was looking for advice on trying different speakers.
I thought of -
A: Replacing the H's with 2 more vintage 30s
B: Celestion V type in place of the H's
C: Totally re-speakering (because they're only available in 8 ohm) with the Avatar Hellatone 25. The youtube vid where the guy pans v30 and h25 is great. Much prefer the H25.
Also considering the 20 watt VanHalen Celestion.
Again, need more midrange presence. Any advice would be much appreciated.

This should be posted in the "Amplifier Central" section.

Nevertheless, I'll respond with Emi Swamp Thang. Great spkr with lots of mids.
 
Re: Please help with this speaker choice!

Stupid question, but have you maxed out the mids on your amp's tone stack?
