Cerwin Vega Dual 1515 with McIntosh MC 1.2 KW power amplifiers - Part 1!

[@olegariomartinez6807]

My 2nd love in speakers was a pair of Cerwin Vegas I heard back in 1976. I was 18 and thought they were the best I had ever heard. Since then I have had the opportunity to own quite a few audiophile speakers and I would gladly own these. speakers. Beautiful!

[@InvaderZim2189]

I would kill for this setup lol, honestly, this is dope man!! love your work

[@jvonengeln]

One can’t help but smile when they watch this video! Looks like a fun system!

[@user-bs9mw1cz9o]

I would love to hear these in person because I just know they sound absolutely amazing

[@adamyelle4901]

What an unusual pairing! Really unique. Love it.

[@st-zt7ve]

Awesome to see someone likes hi-fi audio too, not the subs, but powerfull equipment with high quality. Totally awesome setup!

[@55Berg]

It’s best when mixed subs are involved. As long as it’s not overpowering bass to the point where you can’t here the music, then it sounds amazing

[@chrisgagnon2942]

When your dad says it’s movie night you take out earplugs. Lol. Awesome 👍🏻

[@a55wipe14]

Wow!!! Beautiful to look at. Oh man that must sound badass in person. 🔥

[@15secofFame]

Oh man yes! Very clean cabinet build. I'm a huge fan of CV as well collecting the older woofers speakers restoring them etc... I even have a pair of 10" CV's that needed new surrounds and arrived with broken baskets (happened during shipping to me.) Still cant bring myself to thrown them in the trash. Going to carefully remove the spider glue and de-solder the connectors to save the original woofer and use them as a re-cone.

Wow the last time l saw Cerwin Vegas speakers was back in the early eighties when l owned a pair, but nothing like this!!! Serious/proper setup, great job!!!

[@winzlow03]

I have a pair of xls 15 in my living room and im afraid of their power. I can imagine how much more power this monster set up has. Good job on these bad boys. CVs are top of the line in my opinion.

[@FCL979]

Too big speakers for a room plays worse, than too small ;) Simple physics.

[@carbone1703]

Hell yes amazing setup! I had a pair of Vega towers growing up nothing near this level but they rocked.

[@SubiSkank]

oh my god!!! I couldn't imagine being able to sit front and center listening to that setup!! Cerwin Vega and McIntosh…… it really can't get any better in my opinion!!! My only speaker at the moment is a JBL 310. Just got it last week, 1st song I played was The Business lol!! Great song! Listen to "In My Mind" by Dynoro & GiGi. I’ll bet it sounds awesome on that setup!!

Omg watching again this system is so amazing looking I can’t imagine what it sounds like just wow. You’re a boss

[@Date08202011]

You should listen to what you want to, on whatever equipment your heart desires! The audiophile community can get it so mixed up...judgmental even, at times. In the end, it's about the music and how it engages (no one else but) you! 🙂

[@alexandershi-fiworld5090]

Yes unfortunantely it is like that😕 I knew this setup would either be loved or hated, but l expect more from so-called learned audiophiles! The older they are, the more they think they know everything🙈 It’s like discussing with children, so l have given up and just delete their comment. But thank you very much for your nice and sensible comment👍🏻😊

[@st-zt7ve]

@@alexandershi-fiworld5090 I’m 16, and I absolutely love this setup. Just so high quality and clean. Even tho I really like bass it strongly suprimes me. But one thing I can question is why not lamps amp. They just look good. Anyway amazing

[@lukasHenchman]

certain music genres have a lot of details, when you have 5 or 6 speakers playing at once, all of them need to play in phase perfectly to get accurate sound , which is really hard to do from my own experience, no speaker playes perfectly in sync, there's always a small difference, so the more speakers you play at once the more chance for distortion, i used to have big subwoofers 15 inch x2, but now i built a 6.5 inch sub that can play below 30hz slightly, and the sound is more accurate and tight than from the 15s because the QTS paramater is lower, the 15s had 0,54 qts or so and the 6.5 inch sub had 0.4 qts, lower is better, the 15s you could feel it punch your chest, but you can only use it if you have no neighbours lol otherwise you won't be able to enjoy big speakers for long, some fake police officer will be confiscating your speakers lol

[@JosephKarthic]

@@lukasHenchman yeah my logitech z623 7 inch woofer blows me away with that low bass...it costs very less..

Usually CV wouldn’t be my first choice but I’d take them with the McIntosh electronics. Those speakers are awesome! Looks like something I used to draw when I was a kid. They almost look impossible. I’ll bet they sound equally as impressive as they look

[@craighoffman6876]

Very clean overkill system. Sweet! Can see some room treatment at 1:27 into the video. Yep, this system would need bass absorbing room treatments, or the "room modes" might include collapse of the room itself - LMAO

[@Mr.Robert1]

@@alexandershi-fiworld5090 In my opinion. The Mac amps ran Very clean. When I think of Vega, reminds me of a big Disco tower. That basically sums up the way I feel. I'm sure it sounds better that the system I'm currently using. Carver amplifiers with a selection of speakers. B&O and others.

[@bob-ii8oe]

the cerwin vaga d9's back in the day where legendary .

[@christopherrichardson5352]

I had a pair of D9's. They were good rock speakers from memory. The only annoying thing about them was that it was easy to blow tweeters when they played loud. Never had that issue with any other speaker I've owned over the years including my current Monitor Audio Silver 10's. They play louder than the D9's back in the day and with much tighter bass and clearer mid and high frequency response. Speaker technology has improved immensely over the years.

[@lesmatthews459]

I still have my D9's!! And D5's for back surround. Bought both new MANY years ago!!LOL!! D9's still good but D5's getting close to needing new surrounds on the woofer. But still love them!

[@lesmatthews459]

@@christopherrichardson5352 Nothing to do with the speaker! The amp was clipping and C.V's were sensitive to that - hence the blowing tweeters!

Nice work pal! Great fit and finish! I just finished a pair as well. I’m a Autobody painter so I respect the craftsmanship put into these. Not sure how you have these braced or dampened but I highly recommend a product called No Rez sold by Danny Ritchie out of GR Reserch. It could really help a large cabinet like these.

Just curious why you would combine an audiophile grade amplifier with what are for the most part DJ speakers? Cerwin Vega always had a big following but never paired with McIntosh amplifiers. What was your thought process when you designed this system?

[@alexandershi-fiworld5090]

I have a lot of speakers😊 Usually l use my JBL Everest DD66000 on my McIntosh gear. But m also like to use my Klipsch RF-7 mklll, my Seas 503, or my 1515. Dual 1515 l build for fun👍🏻😉 But belive me! They actually plays really good with my Jantzen crossovers☺️
