SPEAKER DILEMMA

[MRHP 868]

Well the first thing that popped in my pea brain when you mention Cerwin Vegas is BASS! The tower speaks you showed will probably have more finesse with less glass shattering bass. That's my .03 worth but I will need a penny of change back....lol

 

I love the detail of my DQ-20's but have to say the Amazings have a way of filling the whole room up with music even at low listening levels.  

[Rob 5,942]

I guess luck is on my side? Or not but I just met a guy that works with a friend of mine that is an audiophile and I just keep following the Cerwin Vega path. 

 

Just picked up another set of CV's but they need some work. MV-15B PA's

 

Also picked up an NAD receiver and an old Pioneer receiver for shits and giggles.

Ok, to all that might know some where abouts. I am looking for a pair of Cerwin-Vega 10" midrange speakers. They are probably rare but I want to see if I can find some before I go a different road. Nothing on eBay.

I talked to the guy about those speakers and he said ha didn't know if they were subs. I have been trying to look up the number on the magnet and I am not finding anything. You have any resources to find out what kind of speaker it is? 

 

The number on. the back is WOFH10151

[Rob 5,942]

I think OCCD or whatever that sickness is has manifested itself in me. I picked up another set of Cerwin Vega's. 

[RodH 4,866]

How did Charlie miss those?

You can give these guys a call. They have been in business for a LONG time and I doubt they would have any trouble giving you info on that driver. I've done business with them when I lived in Tampa and they were outstanding folks.

@B-Man I called that speaker place and they are really helpful. The speakers I referenced are woofers and not subs and of course, no mids available anymore so I will go to plan B. 

 

Thanks for the resource.

I received the final parts today and its gonna be a speaker rebuild weekend. 

 

MV 15B's are coming alive. 

[Rob 5,942]

Just finished the MV15B's today. I am only pushing these 4 CV's with the MXR 150. Sounds so good. 

 

The 4.0 is hooked up in this pic but I shut it down and hooked all of them up to the MXR.

The newest members in the family and they are not CV's. 

 

They don't have the punch like the CV's but they also don't have the screaming horns.

The MOABs at Capital Audiofest were quite nice!

[Rob 5,942]

I finally got back from South Carolina. I picked up the set of CV's I bought a few weeks ago. Notice a little size difference? Had to slide them down the carpeted stairs because they were to big for me to carry them by myself.

I recently finished recapping my second M200t and decided to move the Cerwin Vegas out and hook up the Polk Monitor 10A for a change. I am really starting to like the sound of these little speakers. Its amazing the bass that comes out of these with just  (2) 6.5 inch drivers and a passive speaker. The sound is totally different then the Vega's and I'm not changing my mind about my Vega's because they definitely have their place in one of my rooms and for certain music. But the idea of opening up and listening to a variety of speakers is really a plus when deciding what kind of speaker to buy.

 

But then again I have seen a few of you with more than a few pairs and now I know why.

I've noticed that a LOT of DJ gear is showing up on Facebook Marketplace...

 

More CV DJ-type speakers of all sizes, (along with mixers and amp/processor rigged boxes).

 

I picked up a pair of Peavey speakers, a Peavey amp, and a mixer, along with two effects processors and an EQ all in for $400. 

 

Garage is rocking!

 

just sayin', if you are looking for PA speakers from CV, I'm seeing a good number of these on FB Marketplace, lately.

 

I'm assuming that a lot of folks aren't getting gig-work, with COVID shutting down gatherings.  Lots of bands and DJ's rethinking or looking for cash.

[Rob 5,942]

@AndrewJohn I have seen very little DJ stuff in my area. But my wife likes Bose speakers so I have located 3 sets to go look at while taking a nice little road trip. 

 

Probably add them to the living room surround for her and box up the Yamaha's for selling later. 

 

141

2.2

and SA1000. These are very different than any Bose I have ever seen but they need foam and clean up. But for 50 doll hairs? I'll try them for TV use.

I must put in my $0.02 in here. I really think the ALS give a listening experience worth 10-20x their cost.  If you have space, you can get them

to do things a dynamic enclosure speaker cannot. But, to each his own. So many options!

Albikes

 

I have to agree on the ALS.  I've never heard them until I visited a buddy a few years ago that had a stereo shop at one point.  He always had a set running!  Fell in love with the sound!  Never thought I would be able to ever get a pair or have a house that could have room for the pair!  Found a set 5 1/2 hours away at a steal of a price and jumped on it.  Drove  to pick them up (were trade-in's) at a hifi shop in Baltimore.  They auditioned them for me (and still blew me away), and then a friend of the shop owners came in and they auditioned a brand new set of KEF floor standers for him.  Same CD, same amp, same CD player!  Couldn't tell the difference between my ALS's and the KEF's.  And I paid 1/10th of the cost of the KEF's (which were $5K)!  Got them home and have been living in audio nirvana since!  (Note - caveat is I had to get divorced and buy a house with a partially finished basement!  - Don't worry, the divorce and house came before the speaker acquisition!)

 

As far as the polks go - I haven't heard a pair that I would walk away from!  Had Monitor 5's and still have SDA-1C's and Monitor 12's Series 2.  Paradigm (any of the older SE MKII's or MKIII's are good also - had a pair of 5 SE MKIII's - ex now has those!)
