Looking for "Open" sounding IRs (video example)

Note: Using a Xitone Active 12" Wedge :)

When I got my AxeIII I started by getting some presets and many used Recto 4x12 with a 57. What annoyed me about these however was no matter what amp I put through them, I always felt like they sounded as if someone had put a blanket over the speakers. They were too dull/boomy/inarticulate etc (for my ears). This includes the GGD presets in the Zilla pack also.

I went looking for some other IRs and found some that remove this effect to my ears and I quite like. These are the Citrus 57 and 4x12ENG V30 57 OH.

I was hoping the more seasoned users would be able to recommend me some more IRs within the axe that have this sort of open sound. Perhaps something even MORE open too.

Example of what I would consider an "Open" type of sound:

Its super clear, lots of mids and highs, but lows are there too.

PS: This also may be an issue with how I dial in Amps, but I think Im on the right track looking for IRs I like
 
If you like the citrus and engl IRs, start with all the orange and mesa IR's in the factory cabs?
