I replaced the 15wks in my Shorthorns with a pair of Altec 515s. Not a happy combination. First I had to put extra gaskets on the woofers so the cones wouldn't slap against the front of the cabinets. Then I discovered that a 16 ohm Altec may lose a bit of output against a 3.5 ohm EV. If you turned the bass up enough, the Altecs sounded ok, and would go quite deep.
It's been a while since I've heard Trusonics in Shorthorns, but as I recall, they were magnificent, in a huge room with a vaulted ceiling.
Right now, I've got a pair of 15WKs in my Shorthorns, painted grey crackle, badged Klipsch with "PWK" on the dustcaps and with a phenolic (orange) surround. They sound great and go plenty deep - probably my favorite speakers in these cabinets.
