I think the best sounding 15" woofers are the Altec 515 and 416, mainly because of their lifelike upper bass and midrange. These drivers are now made by Great Plains Audio if you don't want used ones. The Altec 604 coaxial mentioned in this thread uses the 515 woofer and takes it up around 1500hz.
The JBL 2226 mentioned in this thread is also very lifelike and used ones in nice shape are plentiful.
