Celestion G12H30 alternatives?

I don't WANT to, but I need to downgrade my cab, due to cash flow probs.

I know what to look for in a cabinet, in terms of wood and construction, but as far as speakers go, I just know that I really like G12H30's...

I googled around for a bit, and after checking a couple of clips, it seems like the WGS Reaper doesn't at all sound that close to the G12H30's :idk:

Anything else worth checking? Has to be relatively available in Europe btw, and preferable on the used market if at all possible. So super obscure small time brands probably aren't an option, and neither is pricey boutique/custom stuff...

So I know this is a long shot, but still worth a try...

Cheers.

I've never played real G12H30's but I do love both Reapers that I have, the 30w and 50w versions

Eminence speakers are cheap and awesome. Their website is good, but I'd just email their customer service and ask. They've probably got a direct competitor for that celestion.

Eminence or Weber is where I'd look.

Weber doesnt seem to have any real EU dealers, or at least none that can sell me a speaker for less than $150 or so:s

I'll mail the Eminence peeps, to hear which one of their speakers is in the g12h30 ballpark. I think I prefer 25 or 30watt speakers for a 4x12 configuration though, which apparantly kinda rules out Eminence :s
