Para un prosáico son perfectos... Para un audiófilo... les falta un poco... pero es muy facil corregirlas... Siendo que no son profesionales planas, son muy buenas, superando en pruebas a varias de marcas como BOSÉ e incluso muchísimo mejores que éstas basileñas... superiores a KEF aunque por la marca la mayoría los desprecie. is vs-120 fueron fabricadas en 1990 y siguen teniendo sus bobinas originales y jamás se han averiado. Su construcción es muy buena, los componentes son buenos... Sus deficiencias como todo entendido sabe o intuye, son que adolecen en los medios. A pesar de estar relativamente bien compensadas encuanto a la distribución de las bocinas suele presentar deficiencias que abarcan los 700Hz a los 3.7Khz principalmente, que es donde está el corte entre el mediorango y la unidad de agudos. Yo compensé esa deficiencia construyendo un crossover balanceado en su corte de frecuencias y añadiendo a los preexistentes, unosdrivers de neodimio que originalmente son para publidifusión con unas carátulas hechas en fibra de carbono a semejansa de las que oriiginalmente tiene. Después de estos cambios las he probado en espectro consiguiendo una respuesta casi plana que es muy facilmente compensable con una leve modificación de no más de 4Db+/-
Lo que yo conseguí con estas adecuaciones es también posile con corrección de ecualización con el único problema de ser necesario ser activo en el algoritmo de potencia.

I bought these for about $100 and they sound a $1000 more expensive! They are durable but i did have to upgrade the fuse to 3.0A from 2.5A cause i kept blowing my fuse. i love them they shake my whole house! I was skeptical cause they are kinda old but damn these things sound brand new!

THESE ARE A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE WHO JAMS!

I had these from 2000-2006 I bought them from a friend who bought them from a friend a few years earlier. Dunno how old they are. I sold them to my cousin's boyfriend and he still has them to this day and he's thinking of selling them now because of the neighbours.. If I had the cash to spend on a new amp I would have bought them back again today. The thing is these a quality speakers, they never die!! I have played them like hell.. All the owners have and they fu**ing live forever. And they play so amayzing with a proper amp. And if I'm not mistaking they have a fuse? on the back so they go before the speaker so.. yes! :)

Not many scratches on them eighter, they have had many owners and they still look good.

I had to switch to a smaler suround back in the days because I lived in apartment. If you get a chance to buy these do so!

Bought my VS120's in May 1995 and 14 years later I still love them!!! Bass is clean and powerful. Mids and highs are very well defined. I listen to all sorts of music and I've always been happy with these VS120's. Side note: If you move like I do, three times across the country, wrap in plastic and blankets. They do fine in moves even in the heat of the summer!!!!! That tells me how good the rubber has stayed for 14 years!!!

The best speakers I have ever owned, were the vs-15. I sold them 10 years ago to a friend. Regret it ever since. Just went looking on Kajiji and found a set of vs-12's, was a little reserved...but realized the size was right for my home. Must have been a younger me thinking I needed the big ones. These new..old ones...fill my entire upstairs..with lots of base. The sound is clear and loud as I remember. I am very glad to get them back. I paid $300 for a black set in perfect condition...no sun damage on subs. I spoke to the owner of Glubes Sound Studio in Dartmouth he says that Cerwin are now crap...he dropped the line after they sold the company off and all the product is made in China.

Funny part of it all, my friend called me the next day and offered to sell me my old ones back.I said too late I bought a 12 inch pair. It was ment to be, because it was a hard enough sell to my wife..she hates these ones..she says they are too big.

well to all you out there who need a great set of speakers, the cerwin vega vs series is the best.
