![]() ![]() It’s a different experience to get strong bass from the front part because it gives a different base that presses in the chest during explosions. With Cerwin Vega, you get relatively clear sound and heavy bass, which is quite cool to listen to, especially when you play pop/r&b and similar music, even with movies. However, when it comes to playing in stereo with a powerful and heavy sound, they are very good at this if you have a sufficiently powerful amplifier. This is true to some extent because a pair of speakers in upper price ranges or maybe even in the same price range prioritize other things than having good dynamics with heavy bass.ĬV doesn’t have a clean and detailed sound, as, for example, old JBL speakers, which I reviewed in one of the previous articles about the best vintage JBL speakers. It has supplied audio solutions for many major dealers, including Fender, Vox, and Sunn.Ĭerwin Vega is occasionally a bit underestimated by some people who think of them as completely unmusical and nothing more than bass force. Qualities of Cerwin Vega Vintage SpeakersĬerwin Vega manufactures and distributes high-performance loudspeaker systems for professional, home, and mobile audio solutions. In this article, you can read about the best vintage Cerwin Vega speakers and how I ranked them according to my listening experience. Some folks complain about the treble in CV speakers, and of course, there are speakers with better treble sound, but considering Cerwin Vega’s price, it surpasses expectations! They really aren’t bad. And the CV always had its own special character.Ĭerwin Vega is hard to beat for its price if you like large speakers and playing loud. But if you like a true-to-life, airy, pure sound where even the tiniest details stand out, some companies did make better speakers. Well, the drivers are well-made and similar to many other well-regarded brands. What is it regarding that brand? Is it their West Coast Sound heritage? Is it poor execution of good quality drivers or merely poor quality drivers? Are there any really good vintage 2 or 3-way Cerwin Vegas? I noticed that vintage Cerwin Vega is a brand that rarely receives positive reviews. Be worth checking out.I have bought and sold all kinds of speakers over the years since I was in the DJ business, and I know a lot about sound. So your HED CV-3000's might indeed sound good with the D3's. Makes me think the stack for a CV is another CV, even from a different line. The sound is really coherent and the LS-8's are making a real difference. Which may have given me the motivation to dig deep into the closet and pull out my Cerwin Vega LS-8 bookshelves. However today I'm a little down, missed out on a good speaker deal myself. ![]() The results with my Bostons, Phillips, and Polks were ok but nothing to write home about. Although I've been playing the D3's mostly solo I have also been experimenting with stacking them with my other speakers. I was extremely fortunate to get my D3's when I did because an extremely perceptive fellow AK'er was about to do the same. How interesting you would post this just now. 'Cept someone seems to be a hair quicker on the trigger here on getting the gooduns' lately." These might sound well stacked with them. I've got some great HED CV-3000s I love (HED is a division of CV- H.igh E.fficiency D.esign). They look good with the grills off but I actually like them with grills on more, the brown material and CV logo look good to me. ![]() This is the second time I've owned these speakers and I really like them. I'd be interested to know the sensitivity rating (93-95 db?) and the crossover points if anyone else knows them. They play loud of course but they sound quite good at low and moderate levels too which constitutes most of my listening. To me the D3's are warm, rich and thoroughly involving. That's my opinion of course based on comparing them to my other speakers which are Boston A70 series2 and Polk Rti38. Plenty of bass, great mid range and very good highs which are detailed but not bright. Although Cerwins are supposed to be rock type speakers, I think this model is an excellent all rounder and sounds great on classical. You can see a picture in the member classifieds (sorry I don't know how to put it here, not too swift on photo management). I just picked up a pair from Kegger last weekend. They have a tweeter adjustment on the back of the speaker. ![]() They have a 10" woofer, 5" midrange, and (I think) a 1" horn loaded tweeter. The D3's are 27.5" high, 14" wide and 10.5" deep with about 2" of the height consisting of a riser built on the base of the speaker. ![]()
