Bottom Line: I like many others bought mine new way back in the early 90's maybe late 80's .
Bottom line, I regret selling them to this day!! I have a Onkyo component system that applies the m5200 amp. You will hurt yourself before you hurt the speakers. I have searched for years to equal the Rock & Roll hammering ability they had. From C o C, to God Smack. The old Cerwin Vegas can pound it loud and clear. I have never grown up. I like my R & R hard and heavy. To those of you who have shall we say a more relaxed desired way to listen to your music..? so be it. Just dont tell me about how nice and pretty and costly your speakers are, and what poor quality the Cerwin Vegas are to the rest of "audiophile" world. take those costly pretty speakers to your end of the house and enjoy. If yo can hear them!! . . I will blow you, and the rest of the candy asses off the BLOCK with the kings of
ROCK & ROLL THE DX9'S !!!

Bottom Line: I payed $900 for the pair brand new in the early 90's they guaranteed i could'nt blow them.Well i took it as a challenge hooked em up to my yamaha 500watt amp and leanded on them for about an hour and blew my yamaha amp.As owners of these awesome speakers know they are fuse protected 4ohm speakers.Well as the years after that and thousands of dollars in amps onkyo maranantz pioneer and sony i still have those dx-9's to this day,none of the amps though.i just after 20 years replaced the foam surrounds on them and they now grace my man cave not the living room anymore.I still rock the neighbohood out of their beds with them they ask me"What brand are those speakers EV'S" I say no but you have the v right.Cerwin Vega had it right the first time with the DX series they since had the RE and whatever series since ,but NOTHING come's close to those DX-9's by the way i had to replace the fusses in them because they were old!?!?AWESOME!

Bottom Line: EXCELLENT at low-mid volume for any music style. The subs can't handle fast, heavy, double-bass (ex. Metallica) without distortion at volume levels high enough to split your spleen at 50 yards. No surprise though. They're 15's! At 50 feet, it may be possible. HIgh freq is great at all levels. Midrange is just as good at low-mid volume. At 'crack my skull' volume the 15's take over slightly more, but nothing a little change on the EQ can fix. Still exceptional for only a 6.5" mid! Although the cabinet looks great, it has drawbacks. It's size can cause problems for some people (even though, makes a good base for shelves). The seams are also a bit weak if you run them as hard as I do. I had to reglue and nail them and the supports together to cure the rattling after a several years of HARD ABUSE. After well over a decade it's finally time to re-foam one (the one that get's sun on it constantly), but no big deal. The kits are cheap! Even though I got them for around $500/pr on closeout, I wouldn't regret if I paid the normal $1k! Around 14 years and they're still rockin'!!

Bottom Line: Call the Landlord! These CV's drop 104 db per watt. Huge bang for the buck. Take those sissy cubes and make a rear channel. You have to buy a vintage pair because nothing is made like this anymore.The bass is powerful and top end clean. As time has rolled on the DX-9's are more appreciated. You can use any amp with this speaker set. The large cabinets allow you to set things on them. If you gotta get a permission slip they are not for you. My woman loves to play em even though she does not like to admit it. You may have to re-foam a pair or replace a grill cloth but it is well worth it.

Bottom Line: My neighbor put them out to the trash cause they have torn subs, But they still are the cleanest sounding thiunderous speakers I have ever owned. That includes the Jensen's and Sony's and more. Who would have thought.
