Summary:
I have had my AT-15 for more than 20 years. I love these speakers. Due high volumes of play the cabinet have begun to rattle with loud heavy bass. Great job Cerwin Vega!

Summary:
After owning a pair of Cerwin Vega VS-150's, I could not pass up the AT-15's when they were offered to me. I feel sorry for all of the "audiophiles" who feel it necessary to pay $6000 for a pair of speakers. The range, clarity, and effeciency of these speakers is incredible! I have owned high end speakers in the past and these beat them all hands down. I have a Carver amp pushing them (you need at least 150 watts to make these beasts come alive) and I am using a Yamaha receiver. I am hearing sounds and instruments that I have not previously heard before. Simply amazing! The bass is only halfway up, any more and I would be hearing from the neighbors. The crossover controls(tweeter/midrange) are at the mid-way point with much left to spare. I will have these speakers for as long as I continue to listen to music. I am hooked! I have the AT-15's paired with the VS-150's as my mains. Wow! These four speakers together are truly a pleasure to hear. So, go ahead, "audiophile snobs", talk all you want about CV's being party speakers and having inaccurate sound. I am glad I listen to incredible sounding music without taking out a second mortage on my home.

Summary:
I just picked up a pair of these and thought I would try them on my pioneer elite 84txsi. All I can say is Wow, I could not believe how good these thing sounded. There is more bass than you can ever want ,the mid and highs also sound great. I have a pair of vs120 and these things really pound too,but they don't come close to the AT-15's .The only problem is I now have to find a stronger amp to drive them. They are rated 400watts @ 4 ohms.If you can find them.. get em ...this is a fun speaker.

Summary:
I previously owned a pair of D-9s back in the mid 80s. In comparing the two, I would say the A-15s are more balanced overall. The D-9s hold a slight edge in bass response though. Here is a rundown of my setup:

Carver C4000t Preamplifier
Hafler DH-500 Power Amplifier
DBX 2231 Equalizer

With this equipment, they produce a beautiful soundstage - even without the EQ in the loop. I really don't see how I could improve on the results I got. Before getting these, I listened to a pair of Klipsch Heresys and a pair of Cornwalls. Granted, the Klipsch speakers are more refined (real wood cabinets vs. particle board), but neither had the bottom end of the CVs. The mids and highs are clean and crisp. As with any speaker, you must have a capable amp to get the best out of them - a receiver just won't do. I may be in for a rude awakening, but I think they could seriously compete with anything costing up to five grand. One more thing: along with a good amp, get a good set of my speaker cables. Your CVs will thank you.

Strengths:
Legendary bass response
Excellent mids and highs
Great value for the money

Weaknesses:
None.
