tell me please,
why everyone praises the speakers sb15nbac/sb15nac, but nobody designs 3-way acoustics based on them. I found only one option on the Internet

I would suggest going a little smaller. Consider using the Scanspeak Discovery 10F/8424G as a midrange:
Scanspeak Discovery 10F/8424G 4" Midrange 8 ohm
Scanspeak Discovery 10F/8424G 4" Midrange 8 ohm
They have just about doubled the price of those small "Discovery" drivers from Scanspeak..
-sort of like:
"oh, people are interested in actually purchasing this - let's see how much more we can get for them.."
They also aren't 4" drivers either.

I find the dispersion response exceptional on the fostex, but high THD, this is not for everyone, however the satori has a 4 db dip at 1k.5, how to correct this is difficult... you will for sure hear the fostex more even, more relaxed, and the high sens could be a plus or a minus depending on the woofers budget.
It's a higher mass driver with a fair bit of edge damping from the surround along with the typical off-axis variation around 2 kHz for a 5" driver.
100-800 Hz: pretty excellent (if inefficient).
Above that: a little "dull" and requiring a lower freq. high-pass for the tweeter nearing 2 kHz (or lower) for optimum results.
A smaller diameter driver mid. is generally preferable for something more than a "two-way" - particularly when you low-pass the mid. for better in-room behavior with regard to floor-bounce effects (..which is often around 400 Hz). Of course 400 Hz still leaves a full 2+ octaves of goodness from the driver un-used. 😱
Still an excellent driver - but probably not the best choice for a typical mid. in a 3-way.
-now a 4-way where it's used from about 80 Hz to 400-500 Hz in multiples and properly loaded with respect to the floor:
