I have to upgrade my rig

If you can, why not go with 2 F-1X?  Not sure if that has been suggested.  One for the neck pu & one for the bridge pu.

About 25 years ago, I had an early 70's era SVT that I loved. 5 years ago, I had a deal with Ampeg and to be honest, I hated the sound. I tried 4x10's, 1x15's, 8x10's pretty much every combination of cab you can imagine with the SVT 4Pro head and the SVT Classic head. Both heads seemed under powered compared to their ratings. I usually had to turn the volume up at least 3/4 in order to hear myself with the band. The cabs didn't project well and I could never get the tone that I wanted. I have since switched to GK and have never had the volume past 1/3. My tone is better, much more clarity and punch.

I guess horses for courses.  I've tried all sorts of setups and nothing to me beats my old SVT head.  It's just huge sounding, breaks up at around 10 or 11 o'clock with the right amount of grit.  My current setup is too clean, not badass enough.  I got my SVT up and running after it being out of commission for awhile and now my main Fender Jazz going through my SVT/Ampeg 4x10  is blowing away my Alembic Series II/fancy rig.  I think the Alembic will sound awesome through the SVT once I get the pots at the right output level

here it is
neck pick up-F1-X bi-amped
bridge pick up-F1-X bi amped  
This would require four cabs and two power amps but DAMN!!!!!!
