I used 515Bs in 825 cabinets and I think they made the finest upper bass and midrange I've heard. However the lower bass is weak and the large size of the cabinet is wasted; as Alfredo said I augmented the 825s with large subs.So it would probably be better to put the 515s in 816 cabinets which are basically just the upper part of the 825, the part with the horn. Then use the 816s with some powerful vented subs below 100-150hz or so.
Or build 825s and do the mod where you use the bottom volume of the cabinet for an 18" JBL sub. Then you'd have it all in one box with deep, powerful bass. Alfredo and I were talking about that just last night.
Note--My experience was with 515Bs not the earlier 515s.
