I've noticed a trend of people putting two different speakers in one cabinet in order to get a certain tone that they are after. Obviously this must work well as there are allot of people doing it.
The issue I have with it is which one do you mic when you play live? I'm sure allot of people with say both, but in reality unless you have your own PA or a technical rider you might be lucky enough to get two mics 75% of the time, and even in those cases I would bet that one mic is either off or favored heavily over the other.
I can see the point with a stereo rig using a single cabinet, but with a mono cabinet I can't see any advantage to it if you are playing live, unless you figure one speaker sounds better miced.
