High power, low break up speaker

High power, low break up speaker
I see plenty of commentary on the low-power and AlNiCo speakers, but what about some discussion on the higher power speakers, applied to reduce the amount of early breakup and improve headroom, or for use with humbuckers?  
 
I had a Weber CCA12 that is supposed to be like a JBL120F. It seems to me it would have not broken up, but maybe would have been too sterile sounding. I saw some people mentioning ceramic Celestions, also, but I have never really liked any ceramic Celestions I have played with.  
 
Would two P12Qs give better headroom and fuller tone than one? Would this help to accomplish the same results, meaning more headroom and tighter low end?  
 
Just curious.
