Whats the best speakers to Get????

The Avatar oversized vintage cabs are awesome, but the choice of speakers will depend on what you want from them tonally. Also, those speakers are all for guitar applications. You're using this cab for a six string guitar? Bass cabs would require speakers that can handle the low end of a bass amp.
 
you can do guitar and bass w/ the same cabs , use E/V
or JBL 10's or 12's , and you'll get a hi-fi sound which works
plausibly for both.

it sure as hell won't be voiced for electric guitar like a proper
celestion ,or a jensen alnico GUITAR speaker. think more
polytone , roland, or magnatone sound (jazz amps) .

forget about getting a great marshall stack sound , or a
matchless swamp -blues (speaker distortion ) twang.

I home built a single showman copy, with 2 D120's, that sounded good for the time (1969). I'm sure it would have made a pretty good guitar cab as well. My point is, a pair of 12's are pretty flexible. Perfect? No. Flexible? Yes.
