Replacing speakers in 4x12: input needed

[DrownInk]

So I have a peavey 412m cab, and I am in the process of replacing all the sheffield 1290s. I replaced one of the speakers already with a g12t-75 and love the impact that has already, and probably will keep that in there.

I was thinking of mixing it up for the other three. I really want to try and eminence swamp thang, and was thinkig those two mixed with a g-12-65 and maybe another 75 or a Classic Lead 80.

Would the 65s 15 ohm load matter much if the rest are 16?

Would anyone argue against this configuration?

It will be used in conjunction with a laney AOR pro tube lead 50 watt head. For mostly rockish/bluesy/dirty jazz/psyche. Mostly with high output single coil pickups.

I'm putting my AOR 50 through a G12T-75 loaded cab and it sounds great. Not sure what other speakers would sound like.

I typically crank it and play metal with humbuckers (Jacksons and Gibsons). Not sure if this would work for you.

swamps are pretty much all low mids and lows, so if you're looking to fatten your sound I'd highly recommend them. Just make sure you put em on the bottom to compensate for the extra SPL

Classic lead 80's are great dirty but leave a little to be desired for cleans. Remind me a lot of wolfmother & Burn era deep purple

I'd recommend any model of Emminence speaker depending on what you're looking for. My own playing style and genres covered requires a middle of the road type of speaker, one that can do anything, so I guess that's what I'd recommend for you.

interesting, since I posted this, I did ALOT more research and am leaning towards a combination of eminence Texas heat(though i like liltexas better, its harder to find) and tonkers. But the tonkers say they are the loudest on the eminence tone chart. The texas heat say they are louder. Would two texas heats be overplayed by the tonker? or would it be close enough it wouldn't matter?
