Since you're a fan of Johnny Ramone, I'd try some greenback celestions, even the chinese ones sound good, or, Weber's SilverBell copy of a G12M Celestion or, try Warehouse Guitar Speakers. Very good sounding speakers for a lot less money. If you like the Greenback, get their Green Beret, Ive played trhough these and they sound great. they make several clones of Celestions. For what it's worth, Mark from Victoria Amplifier uses them in some of his amps.

hey,
i've used several celestion speakers and all of them are good, but my favorite is G12H30's. the 30 watt version of the greenback speakers.

With my Orange AD30HTC, I use a 4x12 Hiwatt (old Fanes) or a 4x12 Orange loaded with G12H & Vintage30.
I tried the Orange with 2x12 loaded with Celestion Blue, the sound was fantastic, great dynamic !!! But I love the combo G12H/G12M. And you can use Eminence Redcoat series (Private Jack (like G12M) & Wizard (like G12H) ), these speaker are very very good and less expensive than Celestion.

Personally, I use Eminence for almost every replacement. They are price-competitive, and their website descriptions accurately indicate the characteristics, as well as the tech-specs of each speaker. http://eminence.com/guitar.asp?speaker_size=10
