Cerwin Vega CD-90

[Patrick620]

I am considering buying a pair of these. I found an old thread with the specs and I googled them to discover that these were a European sold model. Has anyone had any experience with these? Thanks.

They are alot like the 380SE's. If they are under 400$ then they are a good deal. They go loud and sound awesome. And they wont need a refoam as the foam is cloth. Kinda like PA woofers

Thanks, vegabass25. I'm thinking I just might have to go get them.

Whats the asking price? These are highly regarded speakers among CV fans. They are quite rare, too!

I have made arrangements to buy them for 300$

Here's the deal with me wanting these CV's.... I have some Infinity RS-II's, which are absolutely fantastic sounding speakers, BUT, they are so damn inefficient. I wanted to find a nice pair of Klipsch but there were none that I wanted that were in my price range. These CV's came along and I have heard that for my music listening habits (mostly loud 80's metal, with some classical and blues, here and there) these speakers would do the job. I have a Soundcraftsmen PCR-800 amp and an Adcom preamp, along with other various vintage receivers(two Yamahas, Kenwood, Sansui, Hitachi, Onkyo) a Proton integrated amp and misc eq's. I think these CV's will be much more versitile and basically louder with my existing bargain equipment. This will actually be my largest purchase for audio equipment thus far, so I am pretty excited. When I get them, I will post some pics.

Yes, they look very similar to PD-9's and 380 SE's. From what I'm aware of these are special editions like the CD-9 that you are looking at. So yea, those babies are special, I would go and get them.:thmbsp: If you don't like them, let me know, I'll take them off your hands. no joke..

There ya go. If ya wanna crank 80's metal then they are awesome! And get loud with VERY little power! 300 is a good price, too as they shouldent need any repairs (not old enough for recap and the woofers use cloth rather than foam
