Absolutely agree. Which frequency region would you be using 15" woofers, predominantly? I find they're great in the very important "power region" in particular, i.e.: ~100-800Hz, and when high-passed no lower than 80-ish Hz to subs there's significantly added headroom, sense of ease and a cleaner (lower to central) midrange as well. My main speakers sport 2 x 15" parallel coupled high eff. woofers per cab playing from ~85 to almost 800Hz and run actively with no passive XO's. It's a sonic treat for sure.
I make systems with varying numbers of 15" woofers, from none, to one dozen. Yes, that's right, one dozen 15" woofers. There are fundamental things that happen with LOTS of cone surface that simply cannot happen with less cone surface. The sheer EASE of many big bass drivers is unparalleled, and I DO mean Unparalleled.
