Study my survey of the measured performance of the major brands of 
bandpass filters. It ran in NCJ a year or two ago.

Since my measurements were published, 5B4AGN implemented more 
sophisticated versions of his bandpass filters that provide better 
adjacent-band rejection. See his yahoo group website for details, and 
for how to purchase.

Also, try to learn why you're having problems -- is it possible that the 
amp is creating a spur on 15M?
What kind of amp is it? Is it carefully tuned?  If a solid state amp, 
are you using a tuner?

If the amp is clean, you can probably do just fine with one of the 
better 200W filters (or filter sets).
