Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $600.00

Summary:
These Cerwin Vega's are "TRULY" a work of Art ! Big ,Solid and Very Pleasing to the eye,not to mention the" AMAZING SOUNDSTAGE ! Being they are a couple of Decade's old,they were way ahead of their time.They look very modern w/ the MTM Desisn(Mid-Tweeter-Mid) and the black felt on the front baffle(nice touch),the poly treated mid's,black cabinet's ,grill covers w/ the red stripe,Level adjustments.
*Now to the good stuff-The 15.25 " Woofer(WOW) Has a Pleated Rubber Surround( not the usual rolled foam)that will NEVER need replacing.Very Stiff and also the woofer cone is Pleated and Rigid.It was only used on 2 Model's that I know of The 380 -SE and the pd-9.(Besides Pro Models & Earthquake subs!)Vega only used it on their Limited Special/Select Models.This is a serious Woofer my Friend's-Extremely Tight ,Detailed Slab Cracking BASS!
*The (2) 7.5" Midranges Provide plenty Midrange,they sound very dynamic and smooth.
*The tweeter horn provides plenty of clear,clean ,Airy, High's!
*I am running 300 Watts R.M.S. of clean Amplifier Power thru them.
Conclusion: I have listened to many a Speaker's and this is TRULY a Beast of a speaker.Reminds me of the old Savard's! Kick-ass Bone Jarring Sound!
I would almost bet my life that you cannot touch the Dynamic's of this speaker without getting in the $10k plus range!(1 haven't heard it.)

Strengths:
EVERYTHING!!! Detailed Spacious Soundstage, Heart Pounding Acccurate SOUND! Strong Bass Down to a Real 25Hz/Smooth Detailed Mid's/Clean High Frequency's to 20kHz! Real Level Adjusters ,LOOKS AWESOME! A Decibel level of 126dB'S!

Weaknesses:
Very Rare & Hard to find!

Similar Products Used:
Pretty much all Speakers under$8k Dollar's !
