Then ran them on a newer Sony Receiver, which sounded like crap. After my brother gave me these I ran them on the Technics Amp briefly and they sounded OK. They sounded good especially on the highs but lacked thundering bottom end and had zero midrange. Prior too these I was running a pair of older Infinity Alpha 10's on an old Technics Amp. Before them I used to chance my whole setup every few years. These are my most favorite set of floor speakers I have ever owned. Also it sucks that CV probably laid off American workers, because all of their products are now made in China, (like everything else) but are still charging an arm and a leg for their beautiful yet dirty sounding speakers. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but i felt obligated to give an honest review based on my 30 years of being an audio enthusiast. It's sad because I realllly wanted to like the CV floor standing speakers, but I just can't warm up to them no matter how much I try, and my ears rejoice when I go back to my other speakers everytime. I have floor standing Sonys, Pioneers, Bic Americas, and a set of tower speakers the cabinets of which I constructed myself that house (2) 12" speakers, a mid, and a horn pizzo tweeter each.All of the other speakers sound worlds better than the Cerwins do. They do get loud and are good for house parties and backyard bbqs but if you are looking to sit and enjoy some good music at reasonable volumes forget about these speakers and get anything but these speakers. The mids and highs are very unbalanced in Cerwin Vegas and they sound dirty and shrilly. LS-12s are a little better with the low bass than the VEs. I feel like there is a very limited bass response to anything under 60hz with these. With this brand you can't adjust the 100hz type bass down far enough for comfort and clarity no matter what you do. I like deep 30hz - 60hz bass and typically will adjust the 100hz down to a tolerable level. If you like bass in the range of 80hz to 125hz you may like these speakers. I feel like the crossovers they put in these things rob the music of clarity. They look amazing! and that is what drew me to them in the first place, but the sounds that come out of this brand is muddy at best. That being said, I wanted so much to like the sound quality of the Cerwins, but no matter how much I fiddle with my EQ levels and no matter which of my three different receivers I hook them up to they just don't reproduce sound well.
