The Marshall V30 is quite a bit different from the standard one though, brighter and a bit more open-sounding, so I wouldn't rush into changing it until you've given it a fair chance.
If you do want to then a Greenback or G12H-30 would be my first choices, both of them are much clearer at very low power levels.

I think I understand what they tried to do with the Veteran - to take away the 'harshness' some people find with the V30 and 'smooth it out' - but for me they just took away everything that makes a V30 good. On the other hand I detest 'smooth' sounds in general so I am probably not the target market .
And it may just have been a terrible mismatch for the amp - that can happen sometimes. The amp was working fine though, it sounded epic with the correct Mesa OEM EV back in it. (As well as weighing about the same as a car.)

I will of course wait and see what it sounds like with the stock V30 it has, it might be great.
I’ve had a few WGS speakers and didn’t like anything of them... surprisingly light, small magnets and felt and sounded anaemic. On the amp I tried it on...
edit: an ET-65 weighs 7.5lbs compared to a Vintage 30 which weighs 10.4
Although I didn't weigh it, the Veteran 30 seemed about the same weight as a V30 - it just sounded much worse to me.

I've got one of their 10" speakers in a 68 Custom Princeton Reverb. Big improvement over the stock Celestion.
