I was a DJ at parties and used these speakers ! I drove them with the Cayin A50 -T integrated tube amp ! People always came up to me to comment on the quality of sound ! I also used a turntable and two high end SACD players . It played loud and clean with emotion ! Many DJ' s have terrible sound today !

That's because they think if they can just drop a couple speakers a cheap mixer a junk amp and a turntable they will get paid ! Now days they have there song lists in a computer and just push play ! That ain't proper DJing !! Proper DJing is a lost art ! Plus your clarity of sound is everything !!

As a DJ, sound quality is an obsession to me but I was also influenced by live sound engineers and the sound system culture. A lot of DJs today don’t really care about sound because they don’t know how to use their gear and to your point, use junk equipment and just plug and play.

I was a rep for Cerwin Vega in the '70's back when those were sold. Toured the company and met Gene Czerwinski. He had a real thing against dome drivers so he cut a basketball in half and glued each half as a dome to a set of his 10" woofers in cabinets. the only dome woofer at the time! Quite the character!

I got my first credit card back in my late teens, then got my first pair of Cerwin Vega speakers. Mine were the 15" woofers with dual 3" ports on the rear. I'm here to tell ya, once bi-amped and EQ'd, those things would dig a hole straight to hell on the low end. They can be very impressive if you're willing to push them. I learned a lot about speakers and cabinets with Cerwin Vega, finally sold them in my early 30's to a friend and he still uses them today. With today's digital EQ's, I'll bet one could really make these sing.... Way back when all I had were analog sliders and some really crude analysis gear. No, not the good ole days! Not in this regard. Cheers 🍻 P.S. Back when I bought my 15" version of this speaker, I got them at Sears and paid $500 for the pair. They were sold individually. Funny how I can remember meaningless crap like this 🤷‍♂.

If you got yours in the late 70's it was probably the Model U315 designating 15" 3-way. The U15 was a 15" 2-way. Great sounding speakers that'll blow out the windows along with the frame. I didn't find them fatiguing at all. The U series was followed by the D series, VE series, AT series. Don't know the model names after that.

True test of a great speaker is to run it without having to EQ the heck out of it. If you have to EQ it, move on to something else. Bi-amping doesn't improve sound quality, just allows you to dedicate wattage to the low and mid/high frequencies separately.

Cerwin Vegas claim to fame was never to be a high fidelity product. Gene Czerwinski introduced outdoor loudspeaker systems for concerts. Also, Cerwin Vega is the only speaker company to win an Academy Award for the film Earthquake with their folding horn design. Some theaters had to stop showing the film because the walls were cracking from the low frequencies. Amazin.

Folded horns don't have anything to do with low frequency. It's that Their woofers are almost built to meet the sub-woofer category. That's why they require so much power to properly drive.

This brings back some memories. These are party speakers. They are designed to be hot on the top end for when the room is full of drunk treble absorbing bodies. I was in a fraternity in college when these were current models. Built some 3 way party speakers using four CV 12" woofers, dome mids and horn piezo tweeters and simple crossovers designed solely to protect the mids from damage. I knew nothing, but still knew enough to put a coil on the woofer to roll it off though. Piezo tweeters were indestructible and required no crossover to protect them as they are high resistance and "ignore" low frequencies. The piezo tweeters would make your ears bleed when the room was empty but they "came in" once we had 100+ people packed into the bar. The old CV woofers had nice cast aluminum baskets on them. The house system had four 12's and it thumped hard for that pre powered subwoofer era. The usual deal was to turn the 100 WPC Yamaha integrated amp we had up to clipping, then back itt off a tad, and the party was on. We ran the amp with a fan on it as it got toasty hot otherwise 😆 It is a credit to the amp that it drove that 4 ohm load hard and it didn't melt. Old school Yamama is tuff stuff. I am shocked the orange foam surround isn't all rotted out though.
@v12alpine
@v12alpine 11 ай бұрын
Pretty sure that woofer has been recently reconed. Agree on the party curve response. A crouded/loud audience needs more top end to over come. And the breaker on the mids/highs is super critical (drunk DJ protection).

I've got the D-5, 12" version ... I haven't played them in thirty years. Late 80's, I opened them up ... diagramed the x-over and was blown away the woofers operate wide open! No filtering. Sure, you hear the upper breakup ... but you're treated to a good woofer, in a good box, directly connected to the amplifier. No resistive, no reactive component, just direct coupled. They're calked chokes for a reason! My D-5s had PTC resistor protection instead of a breaker.

If there's ever a speaker that needs a crossover upgrade, it's a Cerwin Vega. I remember being a proud owner of a pair of D-2s in High School until I opened them up and saw no crossover on the 10" woofer and a cheesy electrolytic cap in series with the tweeter. I sold them to my brother a year later and got some JBLs :)

Got my share of police calls, for "LITERALLY WAKING UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD, DISTURBING THE PEACE" during parties. Kept those speakers for over 30 years, the woofer orange speaker section started getting old and fell apart on two, blew a tweeter on one but other that they lasted me a long time. Sold all 4 speakers about 8 years ago to young guy for $150. Got my money's worth from them over the years.

My dad had some very nice Cerwin Vega speakers growing up...I literally blasted windows out of the frames of our old house when he wasnt home one day. You could crank them to the moon with very little distortion. At first he got super mad.but eventually he asked me how I got them to soind so good and had to show him how tp use his digital amp controls...he was used to the slider eq from the past and had no clue you could even adjust levels and whatnot. He had all sorts of effects turned on lol. Edit - he still uses those speakers, though he added a massive subwoofer for watching movies (16" I think...in a 12x12 living room.originally lol), and Sony center and rear speakers. He did have to replace the woofers a few years back but he got the actual OEM replacements. They have been in daily use for about 35 years now. I think he still uses the same Yamaha amp from the early 90's as well. Flanks his massive approx. 70" television.

Heavy frame, large magnet and they have the bright red surround rubber CV is known for. And they sound pretty darn good too!. I know Danny is playing with some of their older house speakers but I thought I'd mention these car speakers. And like most consumer level products, CV makes many products of varying price and quality. I wish someone would analyze car speakers as well as Danny does the home stereo speakers. Although KZbin sites like Williston Audio Labs are a lot of fun!

My dad would come up from the basement 2 levels down and get mad because the whole house was shaking..lol For the money they were amazing speakers for back in the day.

Nice job Danny. Are you ever tempted to embrace some of the original design aims? For this speaker maybe a rising HF would be a good thing? Looks like the HF drops off a lot off axis so some on-axis boost might be desirable. And a smiley curve response would keep this speaker sounding like a party speaker.

Anyhow ... Id love to see a pair of them tri amped for each driver ... That would be a fun project ... I still have the drivers and x-overs to a pair of the dx9's and dx3's .. The boxs are kinda junk now n days in storage ...

I've seen the old Cerwin Vega 1215, the old top of the line speaker of theirs, are sought after today. I don't know why. Maybe it's a good speaker compared with their other ones. I've read that the speakers themselves are of good quality but the crossovers not so. So those would perhaps be interresting for Danny.

The party speaker I remember was the Realistic Mach One from Radio Shack. One of the few things we sold at the Shack that was popular. We sold lots of them and the Minimus 7 speakers when they went on sale.

The D-9 is the legend. 101db @1w/1m. Probably measures terrible. I'll bet the MTM design has some major issues. But once your ears are bleeding, it won't matter much. CW was never really meant for high end - they were party animals. Emphasis on animal. They were beasts. They were rated at 350w, but my brothers 200w amp could blow the fuse. We replaced a lot of fuses back then.

A friend had a pair of Vegas in the early 80's. I could listen to about 3 songs then had to go outside to rest my ears!!! Jeez, they were ringers. Thing about it, everyone thought they were the bomb cause they were so loud.

Interesting video. I have a set of DX-9s and some DX-1s that I'd love to upgrade. I'm actually planning a 5.1 setup with these using older Adcom power amps. I honestly don't need a sub, as the DX-9s shake the house as-is. But, who doesn't love more bass? 😂 Sub'd and looking forward to more of your content.

Yet again I see you alway display xyz speakers without a grill and I'm just wondering how much does it matters if the speaker has a front grill on or off? When I see them vintage speakers, I would rather put a grill on if you know what I mean. But how does it mesures with a grill?
@dannyrichie9743
@dannyrichie9743 11 ай бұрын
The grill frames cause some diffraction that adds a few ripples to the response.

With the upgrades you would do to a d9 do you think it would compare to a jbl 100 classic the new model? Deciding if I should buy some or jump up to a better speaker.

The $400 is for the crossover parts, wire, NoRez and tube connectors. It’s up to you to build the crossovers. Danny’s parts prices are extremely reasonable. And the fact that he doesn’t charge for his design time is a unbelievable blessing to the community
