Rivera S120: Speaker and Cab Recommendations Please!!!

[gt5litre]

OK, I now have a Rivera S120 stereo guitar amp and a 71 Traynor YBA-1. I need help on choosing a cab. I am thinking an open back 2X12. I have read that Riveras are voiced for the G12 85 watt Celestion. In the old days the Rivera's commonly were set up with EV's.

I am considering a pair of Eminence Governors or Texas Heats for the cab. Eventually I plan to have 2 cabs, i closed back for the Marshall side of the Rivera and an open back for the Fender side. This cab needs to work with the Traynor as well.

I like to use both dirt and clean, especially full and throaty sounding tone. Help me choose a speaker and cab that will get me there. NO 4X12s please, just to large and to directional for me.

Thanks for the advice.

Pls define "too directional" ... do you mean "too much dispersion"? Or "too point specific"?
Because anything smaller than a 4x12 is going to be very point specific.

I use a Rivera 4x12 top and a Hiwatt 4x12 bottom. Sounds fantastic!
