ampeg 2x15

Yep, looks like your amp really likes 4ohm cabs.

On your amp, a 4 ohm cab-(instead of an 8ohm) will get you an additional 200 watts.

thumpty-thump-thump-thumpty-thump-thump !!!
 
...If you are talking about the punch & clarity of 10" speakers, you will NOT get this tone with the 2x15. 2x15's are for players who like heavy low end and not a lot of midrange. There will be decent high end, though. ...
I beg to differ. My Mesa diesel 2x15 has lots of mids and highs. Several 4x10s I have owned lack clarity. HArd to make generalizations based on speaker configuration. That said, I have not heard the ampeg 2x15 in question.
