Scotty,
I agree on the speaker moving the air... A speaker can make a huge difference to a amp... I played a AC30 witht he VOX blues speaker the other day, and then plugged straight into a AC30 with a Celestion speaker... The sound difference was astounding...
I was doing a room eq with a sound engineer on sunday past using a brilliant processor. We did the EQ and the sound improved plenty, but from the eq we could see that the speakers falls out of range in the 40Hz and below and 12kHz and above areas... Whic is precisely where you get that real ballsy bass and those nice harmonics from the speakers...
Mother-Animal, give us an idea about the rig that you are using. The Korg AX3000 is a very nice piece of kit. It is a copy of the VOX tonelab, but it does not have the valve that the tonelab has, but it still does the right think... Play around with that and see if you get the sound that you want... I bet you'll get it.
