Do they have audiophile sound? I paid 180 is this a good price? They have been refoamed. Any info would be appreciated.

A fair price for a quality speaker.

Do not give credence to those who love to piss on others' finds or belongings. I've had many Cerwin Vegas over the years, and if my left ear didn't ring continually, I'd likely still have them.

Cerwins are better than most audio snobs think, and like crazy-in-az says, all that matters is that YOU like them.

I'm sure they're very nice. Enjoy.
 
Okay, I just took a look.

Yeah, that's a very nice price for what is a well-built speaker. There are upgrades if you wish, such as a vastly improved crossover I saw someone do once, but honestly, I'd simply mate them with good clean wattage (perhaps a Chi-Fi tube amp?? These are hellishly efficient, so you don't need tons of power) and let them do their thing.
 
Solid speakers especially if you like to rock out as they are dynamic and efficient.

"Do they have audiophile sound?"

As there is not real definition of where this line gets drawn it really hard to say. Most would say no. But I assume if you set these up in a good room with some good front end gear they could sound very good. I like onwardjames idea of feeding them some tube love. An SET amp might make these sing. Because of CV history of making efficient speakers with robust woofers these are usually put in the "Rock" speaker category as they are very good at pounding out rock at parties. If you are more into smoother articulate music where you search for micro details, imaging, 3D soudstage, perfect horn and voice reproduction these probably are not the best choice.

Enjoy, that's what it is all about.
