I've had a Fender Deluxe (tube) for about 4 years. It's only one 12 inch speaker, but I'm pretty happy with the quality vs. price ($500 new). The tone on the clean channel is OK at "practice" levels, but once you turn it up, the tubes really sound great. I also like the distortion channel, bet I tend to keep the distortion pretty low, so I can't vouch for heavy distortion, but it doesn't sound like you are that interested in it anyway. The Devilles are in the same "hot rod" product line, but more in your price-range, and I would bet their tone could only be better.
(also the knobs go up to 12, take THAT spinal tap. )
