No advice on the cabs but based on what I read I decided to get 4 ohm low down sound 2x8 cab with an upgraded tweeter. I figure that gives me enough options for sound as I'll have the 2x8, a 2x10, and a 1x15. The swr cabs should be more efficient than lds cab so matching the 4 ohm 2x8 with the 8ohm 1x15 should balance out ok. I'll post a review when I get the cab. I've never intentionaly ran the WA without speakers but it shouldn't hurt anything.
I've also done alot of tube swapping on the WA and settled on a mullard in the first stage and a bugle boy in the second. There doesn't appear to be as much gain, compared to the mesa tubes, but the sound is smoother.
