Swap a G12T-75 for a ???

I use a Rivera Silent Sister cab for my recording. It uses a Celestion G12T-75 speaker (8 Ohm), but I'm not in love with the speaker. It feels a little to tight, and scooped. I used to have a cab with v30's that I think probably is a better speaker for what I do. Any suggestions on other replacement speakers? Something fatter and more tone-full than the G12T-75?

V30s defintely aren't scooped. If anything they are spiked in the mids. But great sounding speakers and could fit your bill. If you want something more powerful take a look at a Classic Lead

I don't like V30's for anything else than metal. I think a Celestion Gold or a G12H-30 might suit you very well!

I just switched my Marshall 1960 from g12t-75's to Warehouse Guitar Speakers Veteran 30's and I couldn't be happier at the moment. Guys that have been recording with me for years keep asking me about these speakers. At first they thought I had done something different with my mic placement or had gotten a new mic or pre. I was skeptical for quite some time about these speakers but I'm very glad I decided to pick them up.

Interesting about the speakers...

Can the OP elaborate a bit on his experiences with the Silent Sister? I'm in the market (the SPL Transducer - though handy - just doesn't cut it for the tones I'm going for.)

Cheers.

Another vote for G12H-30s, great sounding speakers for classic rock...

Greenback are only 25watts, aren't they?
It would limit the use of the Silent sister cab.
