Summary: I've owned my cerwin vega re 30 series now for over a decade. I have used a JVC RX 992-V amp since I've owned these speakers. Recently I bought a new pioneer elite vsx-52 and let me say these speakers still just plain sound awesome. I don't know why they make it so hard to find good speakers like this anymore that are affordable. I will continue to use these babies until they deteriate. Over a decade old and still pumping hard. You know they're a good speaker when the manufacturer warranty is 10yrs.

Summary: I bought the RE30s back around 1995 or 96. I've had them since. They have traveled all over included a year in a frat house. These things are unbelievable. I've always had a Sony receiver hooked to them (STR-DE825). They sounded great with that and got too loud to bear. Now I have a Marantz 2238B hooked up. Now I realize that the Sony receiver was holding these things back. I have no doubt that my setup will hold its ground against those that cost 10x more. I play every kind of music- rock, classical, rap... and it sounds great with all of them. It can hit low frequencies that shake my brain.

Summary: Ok, here is my 1 in millon life time score.............and I'm not a very lucky person
One saturday afternoon I stopped by my buddies Ralph's house, we chat for awhile and just before I was about to leave, he asked me if I wanted a set of speakers. I thought great thats all I need more stuff to cart home, I could already hear the wife "$@&*%"
Ralph said if not, that he was going to sell them at his daughters school flea market. The reason why he did not want them was due to the fact he had no amp to drive them.Ralph said the speakers where given to him by his oldest daughters boyfriend who used them for his computer gaming and just wanted a new set of speakers.
I finally said ok and we carried them out to the truck. I get home and as I am hook'em up, my neighbor Craig comes over, sees the speakers and his jaw drops..... He says "Dude! are those Cerwin Vega's? man how much do you want for the smaller pair?" I knew then that I had something good.
Oh yes I forgot to mention not only did Ralph give me a pair of Series 30 but also a pair of Series 20's......FREE, FREE I tell you.Yea me!!!!!!
Well I'm sure the neighbors hate me but NOFX has never sounded sooooo good on our stereo. Its nice to have set of speakers that are clear, crisp, clean,and punchy with no distortion. I have only gone a little less than 1/2 volume and its rudely,I mean rudely deafening.Plus I do not want to fry my Yamaha R-V1105 amp.
Anyway thanks for your time, and yes, the wife loves them too! YEA US!!!!!

Summary: I have 2 sets of these RE-30's hooked up to a 5 channel power amp model # N9000ES made from SONY. The amp puts out 115 watts per channel and these speakers rock. My ceiling on my house rattles and everything else with it. So would try out this amp it's a beast. I still could put one more re-30 on it if i had it. People what do you think about the Cerwin Vege 18" 188EB. I also have 4 of those. Talking about big boom.
