Best vintage Tannoy for rock?

I know that Tannoy speakers are not usually associated with rock but I'm mesmerized by the sound of old Tannoy 15 monitors (Super Red, Gold, Classic etc) in big cabinets. The sound is huge and beautiful - you just don't get anything like that from the modern Tannoys. So what's the best vintage Tannoy speaker to rock out with deep bass and tons of punch? I'll be using Manley 250 monos.

I have had Tannoy 12" Monitor Golds for 40 years in 3.3 cu/ft
cabs, a lot of wonderful rock in smaller rooms. Three years ago I was able to move my system to the living room and fell in love with 15's. I now have Canterbury SE's from the Prestige series, and they load my room very well... (16X19X8)
I get a very satisfying illusion of rock concerts on demand.
Those Manleys would light them up very well!
