Need help with Cab/Speaker choices

[bmwm3cs]

Im sure this has been a thread a million times already but im a noob to this forum; I apologize. Alright, im not really sure which cab/speaker combo I should get. Right now im leaning toward a RL V30 setup. Although a FL G12K100 might suit me better. I play heavy palm muting with tons of bass/depth however I also play melodic Petrucci esque stuff as well. Maybe 2 V30's 2 G12's? I'm gonna try and find a local shop where I can find a couple of Diezel cab's to A/B on but that might prove to be impossible. Any recomendations?

Thanks,
Jason

From what I've seen on the youtube comparisons between the twom the cab loaded with K-100's seems to be a bit more accurate and focused than the FL cab loaded with v.30's. Personally, I use an old Basketweave Marshall 'B' cab loaded with WGS Veteran-30's (an improvement over the Celestion V-30, oddly enough) and I'm more or less satisfied with it despite the midrange response that is at the both somewhat present and simultaneously mushy. --It's not the greatest, but it works for right now.

That being said, I'm somewhat curious as to what an RL K-100 cab would sound like. --Still, I was very impressed with the tone of the FL K-100 cab.

See the comparison here, but with the caveat that Clive Jevons is primarily using Channel 4 on his VH-4S.

I can't comment on FL because I haven't played yet but I have a RL w/ 2 V30s and 2 Diezel/Eminence V12 speakers in X pattern and it sounds awesome. I had it originally w/ 4 Diezel V12 speakers and I felt I was missing something. I feel like I have best of both worlds now. BTW, I'm playing through VH4S and Herbert.

I found the V12 s and the V30s in a top slanted cab is a bit too mid focused.

Can anybody recommend some other speakers that complement the V30? I use Bogner cabs (the original basketweave ones). The bottom (straight) sound so good with 4 V30s, but I found the top one (slanted) has a bit too much mids. How is the T75s / V30 combo works? I personally dont like the T75 by itself...
