Review 2 of 80

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I bought these speakers back in 2004 for a $100 from a friends dad that he bought brand new in 1996 for $800. And they still are working great!! they have the factory speakers and still booming and vibrating every inch of our 2000sf house!! the subwoofer sound is what got me! I heard he was selling them so I rushed over and bought them, my mom hated when I bought them cuz all she heard was boom boom boom lol. these subs have pretty thick frames. sure there big but the sound is worth every inch of it. I would never buy another brand, i dont even think id go with bose, maybe. I use to live in an apartment with my dad and I couldnt even turn it up 1/4 of the way with out getting in trouble!! my dad has a 1000 watt system in his truck and these speakers sound just as great of better for 300 watts each. but to hear the true base in these speakers u have to kinda crank it up ha. even living in a house we've got cops called and theres a good 50 ft in between the houses. so with these there is no need to buy a subwoofer.

Review 3 of 80

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Got these used and man they ROCK! Have them plugged in to an old Sanyo Plus 75 receiver. I know it's old school but the sound is awesome and the old Sanyo has no problem with the 4 ohm speakers. Very Loud and clean. They are big and heavy so figure they're going to be part of your furniture. I would say set your living room lamp on them but it would most likely shake it off.

I have a New 7.1 Yamaha 630 watt sound sound and if you ask me this old school combo blows it away.

Bottom line - if you find these - buy them.You should figure up front the wife won't like them - to big and bulky and she will say them little cute cube speakers sound the same - Yeah ! right.

I would like to see them cute little cube speakers shake the walls like this combo does at only 40 watts !!

Review 4 of 80

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I bought these at best buy back in 95 and i'm going on record right now as saying these speakers RULE!!!! PERIOD they have the best bass response than any other speaker within $1000 and I payed $400 for them. I rember a few years back my best friend was wanting to build a stereo system but he didn't have alot of money so I took him to some pawn shops and helped him pick out components we got to this one pawn shop and they had two of these. I looked at them and they were in perfect shape i hooked them up to a receiver and they played perfectly then i looked at the price they were 125 for the both of them i looked at my boy and told him if he didn't pick them up right then i buy them that i would never talk to him again. if he wasn't my friend i would've bought them. I have four vega e312's and two AT12's as part of my system as good as they are they don't come close to the re30's and for all of you critics who don't like the mids and highs in cerwin vega's for the money you save on these just pair them with some bookshelf infinities and stop complaining.

Review 5 of 80

Price Paid:  $700.00 from Best Buy

Summary:
O.K. I got these in the black finish, and I've had them for going on 10 years now (2nd year of College!) for the college scene, these things are GREAT. I have these with two bookshelf RE's for rears, the center channel (a MUST if you have something with 12" woofers like these, otherwise you can forget about using them to watch movies) and then I have the 15" downward firing powered subwoofer that is more watts than I care to think of! They have had adult beverages spilled on them, they've been moved WAY too many times.... they spent a little time in a damp basement that wasn't the best environment for them, and yet they still sound great to this day. I am getting rid of them for a set of B&Ws because of their huge size, (and my wife's wishes) but I plan on setting up a home theater in the basement to hopefully shake the walls from time to time. I have caused two different recievers to flash "overload" or similar things by playing these things WAY TOO LOUD, and the speakers have held up marvelously. In one college party (we later got professional DJ equipment but that's another story) we connected my rears, Fronts, and sub (no center) with a friends matching sub (that's a total of 30" of POUNDING BASS) and his fronts (which were the 10" variety of the RE Series) and because of the two Subs, we actually broke a plate glass window in the house we were renting from the bass..... so yeah... these things can handle whatever you throw at them.

Bottom line...

Get them.

Strengths:
LOUD

Weaknesses:
You can get more crisp sound from smaller speakers in this price range, but that's not why you buy these to begin with.
