v30's in a 5150 Straight Cab ???

[ApolloSpeed]

I'm gonna record a CD next week....and I wanna get a heavier metal sound from my 5150 halfstack.

I was thinking about taking out 2 of the sheffields in my 5150 Straight Cab, and putting in some Vintage 30's in an X pattern.

But, I was going to order a pair tonight and noticed they are now made in China.......which on lot of forums people say they are not as good now, but I don't know.

So, then I noticed the new Century Vintage speaker.....only 10 dollars more, and 1/3 the weight.

Anyways, should I get the regular V30's, Century V30's......or something else like the Eminence Governors ???

I hear that the Chinese V30's are just as good. I've also learned through a local dealer that Mesa Boogie's Celestion V30's are still made in England. You have to go through Mesa to get them and they are around $109 instead of $79 or so for a chinese made V30. I don't know if it's worth it though.
