" Cerwin-Vega refers to itself as "the loud speaker company," and its extraordinary CVHD 5.1 system makes good on that promise-" from Cnet.com Turns out, its because the sub is dead. I took it to a speaker repair shop to connect it to a known source (to rule out my cable or receiver as the cause of the problem) and they verified it was nonfunctional. The sub itself looks great and the other speakers sound good, but I have to say that I might listen to the other reviewers who say that cerwin vega's quality is questionable. I am reviewing the sub here, but I have to add some other things about the cvhd package that I found. from Amazon.com I own four cerwin -vega old style 400 watt 100 pound speakers. Big,bulky,but really nice sound-which is what it is all about anyhow. from Amazon.com I went with these speakers because I used to have Cerwin-Vega car audio equipment and Concert speakers. They have always been very impressive to say the least. from Amazon.com I also ordered two additional "satellite" (hardly small) speakers to hook up a 7.1 system. These were ordered from another merchant through amazon and took a considerable amount of time to receive. My setup consists of an onkyo tx-sr605 receiver and the cerwin vega speaker system (with the two extra speakers). The sound is really awesome. from Amazon.com The best description I can use for the subwoofer is un "freaking" believable. With the right receiver you can create true Theater like sound in your home. Listening music whether it be Smooth Jazz, Gospel, or some earth shaking Caribbean Calypso or Reggae this Cerwin Vega 6 spkr system answers the call and delivers everytime. from Amazon.com I purchased Cerwin vega after reading rave reviews at cnet and other sites. I like the sound quality - produces great sound when it works. from Amazon.com I had to decide between this and an even uglier system by Onkyo and settled on the CV system. The sub delivers crisp bass that will make your spleen explode if you don't turn it down a bit; the rest of the speakers sound good too - better than most that I sampled in retail A/V stores and far superior to any HT-in-a-box system. Also the wall mounts are designed very well and are compatible with the matching CV speaker stands: Cerwin Vega CVHD FST SATELLITE/SURROUND SPEAKER STAND F. The only drawback is that the speakers are fairly large. from Amazon.com I've securely wall-mounted all 5 speakers with the included hardware, and they look very clean around my LCD TV. Most surround speakers (which come as 5 speaker packages in a box) disappoint in that you can tell exactly which speaker the sound is coming from, but with the CVHD, you get a seamless surround experience. The 12 inch sub offers lots of bass (which Cerwin-Vega is famous for), but depending on the levels you set, you can achieve a nice balanced sound without overwhelming bass. The speakers will give you a superb value when paired with a mid-to-high quality receiver (I've got it hooked up to an Onkyo TX-SR605 and couldn't be happier). from Amazon.com We bought this as a gift for my son. This setup has a great fit & finish, and the Sub really shows what Cerwin is famous for. The 250 RMS watts effortlessly produce TONS of bass, and the satellites; with 6 drivers and 1 tweeter each create a smooth wall of sound. from Amazon.com
