Cerwin Vega D9
I was offered a pair of re-foamed Cerwin Vega D9's for $150.00. I have a Marantz 2245 receiver and have been holding out for some Dynaco A25's or 35's, but the prices on those are out of control by me. I am currently using a pair of JBL 2050's I picked for $20.00. Thoughts on the quality...- Josh Brown

Cerwin Vega D9
I want to recone the woofer on a CV D9. The speaker is 152wr. Do I purchase a 4 or 8 ohm kit? I think the speakers are 8 ohm units...the multimeter read 5 ohms. Thanks for your input. -

The shockingly great Cerwin Vega VS 150
Picked these up a few weeks ago on a lark and have been thrilled ever since. I figured with 15" subs, dual ports, and being CV they would be a boomy mess. I was so wrong. (And also hadn't read that these were the TOTL CV aimed at the audiophile market) They are incredibly well balanced and... -

Hello all! Hoping to get some help from the community. Just picked up some Cerwin Vega D5s very cheap. Couldn't resist the 12 inch woofers. Foam surrounds are shot, and speakers are dirty, looks like they spent some time sucking up water on the bottom few inches. But cabinets still look... -
Need opinions on Power for Cerwin Vega AT-15's
I recently purchased a Marantz SR 5011 Receiver fully knowing it would not power my AT-15's to the level i would like but to have a solid platform to build off of.

Come Critique My Woofer Surround Replacement
Ah, the dreaded foam rot. I picked up a pair of Cerwin Vega R123 speakers last year, but the surrounds were toast on the 12" woofers. After I ordered the replacement kit from Simply Speakers, I had (what may or may not prove to be) the bright idea to record myself working through the whole... -
Crossover design question, Experts needed!
So I have been looking at a lot of factory schematics from Cerwin Vega and I have noticed that in the early to mid 80s they started using inductors and capacitors to bridge the positive lead to the ground. Sometimes when they did it with the cap they also added a resistor. An example is in their...- Yester_Year

I have a pair of Cerwin Vega XLS-215s.

I would also like to change the bottom end to sound more like the older... -

Cerwin Vega LW15 ... Repair?
Got a Cerwin Vega LW15 (subwoofer) yesterday for $50 but when I plugged it in the subwoofer sounded as if it had a high pass crossover at 60hz. Low bass was not hitting and voices and such were fairly clear even when the plate amps lpf/crossover was set to 40hz - its lowest position. I played... -
