Need a little technical help.

Ok, so I read through alot of the posts about ohms and wattage, but I'm still a bit uneasy. I have been playing for over 15 years, and have never been too technical. Especially since I play vintage amps that are pretty cut and dry when it comes to the specs. Now I'm reading about bridging and 2x500 watts, etc. I would like some more specific help. I would like to get (2) Eden D112XLT cabs. Can I use any of these heads with these cabs: the WT550 Traveler, the WT800B or the WT1205? Any help would be appreciated, and I apologize for beating a dead horse with these posts, but this is a pretty big investment and I want to make absolutely certain that it is even possible to use.
 
You can use them with ANY of those amps. the 550 is the most straight forward. I have one too and love it!

if you like to biamp or use two different cabs (different sensitivity or ohm rating) then the 800 might be better because you can balance the volume going to each output.

and the 1205 as far as I understand is good for people who like to use two different guitars w/o having to plug and unplug cords during guitar switching. you can also use just one guitar and switch between two differnt tone and volume settings. the amp can also be bridged to pump 1200w into 4ohms, one tone setting.

I don't think the sound with any of those would be dissappointing, but the confusion of use will increase up the line.

I believe also that the 550w is fairly conservative too. meaning it has GUTS!!
