Now I've done it...One Bucket List set FOUND!

Here's what the 15X looks like:

and the 15DX:

Both originally used two speakers, so if it only had one, then one had to be missing.

Now, for fun, the 112X from six months earlier:

The 112X only had one speaker.

Despite the fairly low production numbers of the 15X (13,400), these sets aren't too difficult to find. On the other hand, the 15DX sets seem to be very few and far between. I've never seen one.

If a 112X or 15X empty cabinet were found in less than ideal condition, I would not have a problem with converting it to a McMurdo Silver speaker cabinet. The converted 112X Bruce posted earlier sure looks great with the Silver 15-17 sitting on top of it, looking like the entire setup was a factory job... Icon_thumbup
