What is a good Greenback type speaker?

I am interested in jamming some Greenbacks, but there are a plethora of choices available. Any recommendations? I am shooting for that super high gain tone for the 80's greats(Lynch, Demartini, E. Lee etc) that Mark Day does so well. You know, sounds old but modern?

I have owned a pair of Greenbacks and love 'em. This WGS Green Beret have been highly recommended by most HCAF/GAB peeps, so I will keep this in mind.

I don't have much experience with GB's but I will say my EVH cab with EVH GB's sounds absolutely amazeballs.

The standard Celestion greenback really changes that much after 15 years. (1:36 vs 1:37 min mark)
It appears to not only smooth out "a lot" but also decreases in Volume a lot too??

And people say that speakers don't break in.

Scumback M75's are great. I use the 65 watt versions in a 2X12. That way, I don't have to worry about blowing them up with a 100 watt head.

the only direct experience i have are with scumbacks but they seem to be the perfect speaker.
people are loving the creambacks too, Jerevils clips were fantastic with those splawn cabs.

The 15 year old GB in those vids is BY FAR my favorite. Sounding amazing in those vids.
