I'm thinking about getting new speakers, but unsure of what I really want. I was considering the Vintage 30's. What I am looking for is a tight low end With good mids and highs.

The amp is a Marshall JVM 410H. Not sure which cab they will go in yet. I have 4 to choose from. Marshall, Randall, Carvin, and Peavey.

Any suggestions?

Right now the cab is a stock Marshall 1960A. We play pretty heavy stuff, mostly in drop C#. When I play alone, and not writing for our stuff, I will grab one of my Jacksons which are in E and Eb. Still pretty heavy, though.

Stock is T75 I think. What is it lacking? Tight lows..? Seems to have quite a bit as it is IMO.
What channel on JVM? OD1 channel 3? It loses some tightness with gain down around 4. Gain at 8 has more lows but gain way too high to play with.

Best speaker for metal is Electro-Harmonix 12VR75. Its $49.00 and it is really good.

Well, I decided I really don't have a lot of experience with different speakers to make an informed suggestion so I deleted my post. I had posted WGS Veterans. I know they claim to be American voiced, but I have a 10" one in my Studio Classic combo and it sounds great. It won out over the Celestion V-type and Greenback (I have 2 greenbacks, one Celestion and a Scumback) and the Veteran sounds better. I'm about to order a 12" for my 112 cab.
 
I prefer the T75 myself which has plenty of lows and high end i thought, though some say it scooped too much in the mids. The v30 would is allegedly better in the mids at a reduction in the hi end and about the same low end.

As you mentioned configuring both into a cab, thats a simple compromise. But you mentioned playing detuned and wanting more bottom? Then maybe check out K100s. Basically a T-75 with deeper lows and way better mids, at the reduction of highs.

The video I just posted has the WGS veteran .
 
Here's a quick video I shot


I've always loved the T-75 the most, but for live shows and for recording, a v30 is great too. The wgs veteran is a lot cheaper and flavored similar to the V30.

For hard punching kicking lows I really like the k100s.

And....I've been really pleased with these DV 77 Divinity speakers lately!
