He also says in his ad that he's the original owner who bought the Model 15's in the 80's. Obviously not true as the Model 15's were only produced from 1976 to 1978--they were then "replaced" in the Altec line by the Model 14's.....

You mean bigger isn't always better? 
I agree--they will not sound right with the wrong woofers. That speaker system (crossover, cabinet, etc.) is all designed for the original woofers. Good luck to future owners trying to get the right/original woofer into that (now) 15 inch hole. The original woofers for those had a 13 1/2 " frame (early versions had a 12" frame)......
