Cabinet Speaker Recommendations

[Beemer]

Hello everyone. I'm looking for some speaker recommendations. My config is going to be two stacked closed back 2x12 cabs (Birch plywood w/Pine baffles at this point) with either a Morgan MVP66, Marshall Vintage Modern 2266, or a Germino Classic 45. I'm open to any brand recommendations, and multiple speaker models/configurations (criss-cross especially). Also, any wiring and/porting recommendations are certainly welcome. I'm using two cabs because while I prefer a 4x12, I would like the "portability" of a single 2x12 for small affairs or whatnot. I'm a blues/blues-rock player. I prefer guitar-cable-amp connection (no pedals), and guitar volume "boost" and "clean". Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you want to go the alnico way I'd get 4 x Celestion Rubys for your set up, other than that 4 x G12M25s(and if you can find some of the G12Cs even better).
All the best with the hunting

Maybe a convertible option or full open for one of the cabs.

I have a pair of late 70"s Celestion blackbacks in a 2x12 cab similar to the one you described- it has either an open (which I tend to use more) or closed back option (Avatar). It is manageable and has a bit of extra depth that seems to get that mojo workin'.
They are out there (vintage speakers) and are real work horses. Check around.

Once upon a time, pairing up speakers was a favorite pastime around here. If I had a chance to buy 4 speakers, I wouldn't buy 4 of the same model.

And I'd have an open cab on top of a closed cab.

So, two speakers known to combine for that '3D effect' on top and a pair of tight bottomed speakers in the closed cab.
