what combo to buy!?

[clukeglue]

Hey guys,

i just purchased a metro 100 watt plexi replica and im about to order a cabinet with speakers. for now im pretty set on a 2x12 and i cant decide what to buy. i am 100% buying from wgs because they make great products and it is all i can afford so suggestions for other brands are out of my price range.



The guitar sound i go for is a very classic rock, les paul into cranked marshall plexi lots of mids. for this sound the obvious choice to me seems like a greenback (green beret). problem is that the green beret is 25 watts and im planning for a 2x12. which speaker will get me closest to the traditional greenback sound? ive narrowed it to these 2.

http://wgs4.com/invader-50-50-watts" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The invader pros: greenback replication! perfect! cons:the description says sweeter and creamier. will this take me too far away form the tone im looking for? im not going for a harsh sound but definetly punchy.

http://wgs4.com/liberator-80-80-watts" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; the libertor (or normal et65) . pros: great reviews and seems like a good match. cons: does this speaker have the same midrange "bump" or focus? i dont know what an et65 is like compared to a greenback.



heres issue #2......(sorry!)

i play in a 3 peice band. should i go with a blend of 2 speakers that will get me that nice tone i want, or should i go with one speaker that will give me that tone (one from above) and pair it with an http://wgs4.com/content/ReaperHP" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. (g12 H30). the reason i ask is ive heard that alone, the g12h30 (or reaper) has too much bass and a bit to harsh on treble, but apparently this speaker will pair beautifly with a more mid range focused speaker and fill out the sound. since i play in a 3 piece, filling out the sound is something we all try to do, so the added bass and highs from this speaker might fill out our stage sound. my only concern is keeping my fundamental mid rangey tone intact.

hopefully someone can shed some light on this situation and thanks so much in advanced for all the responses.
