There is not much I could find about the sound quality of Beolab 15-16 on this forum or elsewhere for that matter.

I specially am interested of information about  sound quality of Beolab 16 and how it would compare to other B&O sub-woofers , BL2, BL11 and BL19.

I've never seen one reviewed, nor have I heard one, but be aware it's not really a subwoofer, it's more of a woofer. It has two 4 inch drivers, so if you're expecting deep bass I think you'd be disappointed.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus. Sad

Jeff is correct - it's more of a woofer or mid-range. I must admit that the mid to high range is fairly poor from a sonic point of view, too. It looks amazing when installed, but I would get a pair of BeoLab 17 any day over this combo. I find the (now obsolete) BeoLab 12-2 to be superior, too, if close-to-flush mounting and discrete looks are what you are after.

That is definitely a 'convenience-kind-of-speaker' - looks cool, when installed.

You don't buy that for SQ-only!

There are better options (as Roger wrote).
