Blues!
For the best sounding 18w, it's gotta be 2 celestion blues! NOthing else comes close. If you have to sell your mother's jewlry to do it, I would not hesitate. Well I'd probably hesitate...and then run to the pawn shop. Just kidding. I'd hock it on ebay! All other speakers bow to the blue! Your 18w is not sounding as good if you have any other speaker at all! In my humble opinion.
What are youse guyses favorites? And what config?

My first 18watt had a Weber Alnico Blue Dog and I really liked the tone. My current 18watt has a Weber Ceramic Blue Dog and it is good but I would say it is a bit more raw or not as smooth as the Alnico. I am going to try an Eminence V12 on my next build. I would really like to try a Celestion blue but man even at a discounted price it is too much cash. Maybe when my pub band makes it big

I might be pretty zealous too if I just spent near $500 on 2 speakers, but "best" seems to be a rough concept with the crowd that hangs out here.
I have to say that while I love the 10" Weber Blue and Silver combo that I have going now, I tried a friends cab loaded with a G12H30 and it was pretty magical. Signifigantly thicker. But that could have been the cab too - tough to tell. I would like to try a Celes. Blue though. I've heard great things about it.

Hey Adam...
How does that silver sound? I've been thinking about a 2x10 and I'm up in the air between the blue pups and the silver.
And I got lucky on my Celestion blues. I had one from a previous amp that I sold and got another one at a steal, before that recent insane price jump!!
I hope everyone knows my zeal was meant in jest. I usually hate using those little yellow heads that clue people in to the fact that you're joking. It seems too obvious to me and takes the humor out.

For those who bargain hunters out there Heppner
Alnico heppners are pretty cool they do colour the sound a tad
but The organ surplus market is dumping them into the mix
check ebay they go pretty cheap load up an extra 2x12
and let me know what you think.
