Yeah, that is quite an assortment of BE's!
I'm back to playing through the Shuttle 6.0 into the S15 stack and loving it.

The pistol case on top of the upper cab holds a Walter Woods amp. Really handy little rig.
EDIT -- mods, feel free to shrink or crop this photo to a more appropriate size.
Nice stack! Is that the amp you usually play through these cabs or do you use something else as well?
Here is my in-between stack as I am working on getting another S15L-D to replace the S15 on top. I haven't gigged with it yet but I am really impressed with the sound of these 15s! I had a rehearsal with a loud drummer and guitar and the S15 was all I brought, it was more than enough and I was so impressed with it that I decided to get a stack of 15Ls! I think this will satisfy my modular needs for now.

Cool, thanks for the picture. I've been wanting to add an S15L-D to compliment my S15-D's.
How much noticeable low end does the L have over the standard cab? IYO, is it worth the additional size/weight?
Thanks!
Thanks! And yes, my gig rig is always the Woods through one or both BEs. We played in the garage of a firehouse last night -- bare concrete floor, cinder block walls and tin roof -- and my rig still sounded great. Best cabs I've ever had.
You're welcome. I notice a difference in the low end, it seems to me that it goes a little deeper, but retains the throaty grittiness that I like, especially at higher volume. I really haven't gigged it yet, so that would be the real test.
For me I was looking for a little more girth and I found it in the 15L, I can only imagine what a stack would sound like. It already sounds great teamed up with the S15, so I assume that stacking two identical cabs would give an even better sound IMHO. I am selling the S15 to fund the purchase of another 15L, but even if I don't get my price I will just hold onto the S15 and use it as a rehearsal-light-travel cab, it is THAT good.
To answer your question, it is worth it to me.
I got my second S15L-D, here is a picture of the stack.
Next week there'll be a DB750 sitting on top!

Beautiful. Can I ask where you got your S15L's, and how much they run? is there a long wait? I fink the GK/BE to be a good combination BTW.
How much more low end does this stack have compared to the normal S15's?
Thanks, I got them from John at Bass Emporium down in Texas. I just called him up and talked cabs with him. I would highly recommend him, he was a pleasure to deal with. Not a long wait, I think I had them a week later after ordering, he always seemed to have one on order and It went straight to me. I think I paid $599 plus $50 shipping.
They do go lower and have a fuller sound than the S15, which makes more sense because there is more air volume in the size of the cabinet. (rear ported) I really like them, they sound very full and retain the BE growl especially with the GK head and they are not too heavy. I have nothing but good things to say about these Bag End cabs.
You'll have to let us know what these sound like with the DB750!
I have a DB750 coming soon and have 4 Bag Ends cabs already.
S15-D/S15x-D stack, D10BX-D, D12-D, and a SWR Big Ben w/Bag End
speaker in it.That would make it 5 BE cabs.Yikes!!! Their great cabs!
I 've been gassing for the S15L-D stack like yours and searching for someone who's powering it with the mighty DB750.
I love how you can mix and match the Bag Ends. The DB750 goes to 2ohms so there's a lot of options . We need a gig report too!
Congrats!

I picked up an older EV loaded S15 (flat black paint) about a month ago. I only got to use it on one practice before going out of town for a month, but it did what I expected. I'm considering picking up another, but wanted to know if anyone had played through a stack with one older EV s15 and a new one. Do they compliment eachother, of should I keep looking for an older one?

Tempting, although I have to say I am pretty spoiled now by the 30 lb Schroeder 115+L cab. Has a somewhat similar mid punch and seems to have a little more low end the the standard S-15Ds.
Thanks for the post, KPJ. Beautiful bass, too, boy!
I've been remiss in keeping my own thread alive, so here is a bump from the OP. I was generally out of Talkbass for the most part since spring this year, but I've taken a new interest in it and will be posting again.
Fortunately I did not let go of my S15X-D/S15-D stack when I had it up for sale back in the spring. As I sit here typing this now, I can assure the reader that I would have regretted it, deeply.
