i haven't heard CV in a long time. somehow i always thought that CV's have cheap sound....i don't know why. but recently, i had a chance to restore a vintage model, and while i was testing it afterwards, i couldn't help but notice extra ump in the bass. man, they shake and rattle the walls! it almost feels like i'm pushed away by the air from the woofers and i can almost feel the air around me move...or am i high on glue fumes?

What models are you sportin' there, gogofast?

I've got a set of vintage Cerwin Vega HED CV-3000s that perform well as both party speakers and mid to loud volume rock & roll speakers. My vintage rock vinyl sounds great on these- Black Sabbath, KISS, Iron Maiden. Used with either my Sansui 317 amp or Kenwood KA-5700 amp. One of my favorite pairs of speakers. For low to moderate level listening, and listening to jazz, americana blues, country, and bluegrass I love what's known as the "east coast sound" style of speakers and switch over accordingly, running through the Sansui 317 and a Marantz 1060.
 
phew, yep, it was the fume......damn.
no i'm just kidding. it does sound really good, people.
i was playing some acid beats on them together with coral speakers, and as soon as i turn the CV off, coral sounds like a couple of mice playing bongos. really.
 
For rock they well rock ;)

Don't listen to Russ or Tent and the other vinyl playing Diana Krall listening pansies :D They should just go buy a Bose wave radio and pump their jazz tunes through that :yes:
 
Thor,

If you can find any Dianna Krall (or Ozzy Osbourne, for that matter) in either one of my houses, I'll carry that Miata back to Maine on my back.
 
I am a mild CV fan . . . have their flagship 200-15's that I bought for $250 from a rep trying to get the line in our store when I was in college . . .the are probably from 1984-85. Have had to refoam the woofer . . .otherwise a very nice big speaker.
