Replacement for Celestion C10H-100?

Looking for advice on replacing the speakers in my vintage Trace Elliot cab. The originals (C10H-100) seem to be hard to find, but Celestion Pulse 10 and BL10-100X seem to be popping up everywhere. The originals are 100w, but I'm also seeing options for 200w.

Can anybody give advice, guidance, or input here? Looking to maintain the classic Trace sound, but also don't want to get the wrong speakers.

Thanks!

When I spoke to Celestion about my 2x10's failed speaker they advised the BL10-300 was the one to go for. I opted for a new Barefaced to be honest as the cost wasn't quite worth it for me vs my aging body and GAS for the BF cab.

The originals were custom built for Trace, so nothing new will sound exactly the same but you should get close with the BL10's I think. I wouldn't replace any of the originals though if you don't need to.

Thanks for the input. I'm still searching and will likely make my decision next week. I can't seem to find any BL10-300 listings, but BL10-200 speakers seem to be all over the place! I definitely want to keep as close to the original sound as possible.
