I have a pile of different CV's including a set of AT-15's. I think they suck actually. They started off in my main system (since everyone said they were great), then I moved them to my #2 system, then into the garage system, and now they are in storage in one of my out-buildings collecting...

I had the same problem with my D9's using a Pioneer SX-1010, 110wpc. The speakers sounded like crap at low volume and got better and better as the power was turned up. About time they started sounding good (and loud), they would blow a fuse. I went to a QSC GX7 amp 725wpc and it fixed both...

I own the following CV's. D5, D7, D9, VS-150, AT-15, 15t, 12tr. I sold the Re-30's since they completely sucked. I know a lot of guys like the AT-15, but to me, the mid's and highs are too harsh, at least on my systems. I prefer the D9's and VS-150's over all the others. You need a lot...

I have this JVC RX-1001V. 120wpc. I don't really care for it and don't use it anymore. Tony

I haven't driven very far for audio gear, but I did drive 13+ hours to pick up an automatic 20mm Lahti Anti-Tank rifle one time.....and I consider that "gear". That's a full size AK under the barrel and a 50BMG to the right of the 20mm. Tony

I have a pair of 12TR's and a pair of 15T's, among other CV's. The 12TR's sound decent, but for a 12" speaker, I prefer the D7's for 80's big hair rock bands. Tony

Hugo - Hopelessly Stoned, Born, Sweetest Cure Journey - Who's Crying Now, Faithfully, Don't Stop Believin' Elton John - Tiny Dancer Awolnation - Sail I like Motley Crue, but those recordings are horrible. If you don't know that, you need some better equipment.

I have four sets of 15" CV's. D9's, AT-15's, VS-150's, and 15T's. Only the AT-15's and VS-150's are 4 ohm. The others are 8 ohm. Other than the D9's, your receiver should drive them pretty well, but the D9's really need more than 135 watts to sound good. At low volume, they will sound...

The cabinets are not in very good shape, but at least the speakers are all there considering they have been bouncing around for 40 years. I have an identical pair of mint 12 inchers, but they have the Cerwin-Vega logo on them, not the signature badge like these. I see the 12's come up for...

I am no audio historian by any means, but I have never heard of Cerwin speakers that did not include the Vega suffix. But here is the badge on a pair of Cerwin 15T's produced around 1973 or so. Was there is no Vega in the mix at the time? Tony

I have a party every year and have a live band outdoors in front of my shop. No one is going to complain out here. They don't complain about the fully automatic gun fire either! Tony Rumore Tromix

I have some D9's and use an Ashly GQX-1502. It's a pro rack mount, not an old home owner unit. However, in my particular setup, the D9's require very little EQ'ing. I actually have two of them. I don't recall exactly what I paid, but they were pretty cheap.....somewhere around $200-$250ea in...

I am not sure on E-715's, but....... I would guess 2.5amp 250 volt, slow blow, 6.3mm x 32mm, based on my other Cerwin Vegas. http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/MDL-2.5

I have to agree. I use a QSC GX-7 725wpc amp as well as a GX-5 at 500wpc. I don't see any reason to run anything less.

I use a QEC GX7 725wpc with the D9's and a GX5 500wpc on the VS-150's.
