Cerwin Vega LS10 floor standing speakers

Mike New member Username: Bbruins2 Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 12, 2004 - 05:25 GMT Just wondering if these speakers are anygood with a HK avr 330 receiver.I just ordered these to replace my old Polk monitors as the fronts.The Polks will be my side surrounds and my old surrounds(Boston Acoustics) will be my rear surrounds in a 7.1 setup.

A lot of the younger demographic really love them, I was one of them. Your HK will sure drive them without batting an eyelash. It may drown out your BAs, shame on you for putting them in the back, tsk, tsk!
Mike New member Username: Bbruins2 Post Number: 2 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 12, 2004 - 18:18 GMT My BA's are very small speakers.Where else could I put them?I also am using a Cerwin vega LW15 sub.Am I going to have too much bass?
Berny Silver Member Username: Project6 Post Number: 709 Registered: Dec-03	Posted on Sunday, June 13, 2004 - 01:38 GMT sorry, i was thinking they were bigger I don't really know about having too much bass...you can always calibrate the output of the LFE with the HK. Experiment, calibrate have fun. cheers

Mike New member Username: Bbruins2 Post Number: 5 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 19, 2004 - 05:42 GMT Hooked up my new Cerwin Vegas & they sound good.I think I did pretty good for 269.00 a pair with free shipping.But I am wondering what the propper way to set up my side surround & back surround speakers is.Should the back surrounds be facing each other or out towards listening area? Also should the side surrounds face in or towards the front?I have seen diagrams of these setups both ways.Mike

KEGGER Silver Member Username: Kegger MICHIGAN Post Number: 466 Registered: Dec-03	Posted on Saturday, June 19, 2004 - 05:54 GMT oh yah and the side surrounds face inward towards the listener.
Mike New member Username: Bbruins2 Post Number: 6 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 19, 2004 - 06:47 GMT Thanks Kegger.I will try that.Also is there any dvd movies that I might want to try in the 6.1 format(I hear the 7.1 is not available yet)?This site is awesome.Thanks,Mike.
KEGGER Silver Member Username: Kegger MICHIGAN Post Number: 469 Registered: Dec-03	Posted on Saturday, June 19, 2004 - 07:13 GMT i can't think of much off the top of my head right now. anyways dts es descrete is 6.1 dedicated channels where dts es matrix and dolby digital ex are a matrixed 6th channel. so if you run 7 speakers you get the same info on the back 2 channels. the star wars movies are in ex i believe along with some others. and i have a few dts es descrete and they seem to sound much better. a few i have are. the haunting:dts es descrete stargate:dts es descrete rush hour 2:dts es descrete now awhile back i did a google search and found a list of movies that showed es or ex movies i'm not shure where but if you do a search you should find it. i think you can even get a list of dts stuff from there website. and with the ex or es movies you have to look very close on the box because most are special additions and are made in both 6.1 and 5.1 versions.
swampcat Unregistered guest	Posted on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 00:52 GMT Cerwin Vegas are much better than people would lead you to believe. Vegas are under rated for sure. I've owned three older sets and all very good speakers. If you rock and roll you got the speakers. You will hear nothing but negative things about Vega's ,ignore it all . I listened to the negative hype for years probably from people who never even listened to a vega before. The new vegas are made by stanton magnetics now . Cerwin vega sold a year or two ago.
Mike New member Username: Bbruins2 Post Number: 7 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 02:10 GMT If I was to replace my center speaker with this system,what would you recommend for $200 or less(maybe on Ebay)?Are the Cerwin Vega centers good enough or should I go higher end.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Berny Silver Member Username: Project6 Post Number: 879 Registered: Dec-03	Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 02:19 GMT stick with the Cerwin Vegas, the center may get drowned out by the mains. You might find it difficult to compensate.
KEGGER Silver Member Username: Kegger MICHIGAN Post Number: 490 Registered: Dec-03	Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 03:12 GMT i agree with berny. i've seen and heard the cerwin centers some of them are pretty nice!
Mike New member Username: Bbruins2 Post Number: 10 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 03:12 GMT Berny,do you mean I should replace my old Jamo center with a new Cerwin Vega?If so,which one?
Mike Bronze Member Username: Bbruins2 Post Number: 11 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 03:14 GMT I should Have included KEGGER in my question.Sorry
KEGGER Silver Member Username: Kegger MICHIGAN Post Number: 492 Registered: Dec-03	Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 03:34 GMT mike i havn't been in the market for cerwin vega in a while now so i don't know there model's. but i know in the past they had some rather nice and larger centers. i am a big proponent for the larger centers these days as many movies and music send a fuller signal to the center than they use to. so if you could get one with say dual 6.5" midbass drivers and a nice tweeter "or bigger" that is what i would look for. hope that helps!
Mike Bronze Member Username: Bbruins2 Post Number: 13 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 03:52 GMT This helps alot KEGGER.Thanks
Berny Silver Member Username: Project6 Post Number: 890 Registered: Dec-03	Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 19:34 GMT absolutely, don't neglect the center unless you are a stereo purist. I would get the center from Cerwin Vega to match the mains. cheers

Dan Reid New member Username: Dan_the_man London, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 26, 2004 - 17:14 GMT I have an older cerwin CC-250 centre with my existing set up. I find that it lacks dialogue for home theatre. Fortunatly my dvd player has a dialogue enhancer that seems to take care of some of this problem. But it really shines for concert dvds if you are into music. Like I am. No such thing as too much bass is right! I am currently running the centre, two infinity RS-5 fronts, E-208 cerwin vegas for rears and a Svs 20-39 pc +. Couldn't be happier. The Cerwin centre channels have huge sound, but not as intelligible for HT. I like it, but it depends your plans for the use of your system.
Mike Bronze Member Username: Bbruins2 Post Number: 14 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Saturday, June 26, 2004 - 18:22 GMT Thanks Dan.I will take that into consideration as movie dialogue is important to me.Does anyone agree or dis-agree with this???Thanks
Spencer Unregistered guest	Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2004 - 05:34 GMT Hello I was wondering if anyone was interested in buying 2 Cerwin Vega E-315 floorstanding speakers, they are in great condition and i have pictures, if anyone is interested Email me at LiLCurry04@cableone.net
dgt Unregistered guest	Posted on Wednesday, July 07, 2004 - 06:30 GMT I have the 715s front, 710 rears, and E76c center front&rear. I had to fabricate brackets to hold the mammoth rears, but it's been fun ever since. About a year later, I went a step further and got a sub system from Bag End with twin 18" subs, an infra-processor(flat to 8hz), and a Crown K1 amp. Now we're talking sweet bass!
Windell Unregistered guest	Posted on Saturday, July 24, 2004 - 05:03 GMT I have a C-V LS-6c center channel speaker that I have been waiting to install in my new AV cabinet. Unfortunately, I didn't allow for wood thickness in my specs, and the 8" speaker case needs to go into a 7 3/16" opening. It is not going to happen; I've tried everything. I'm looking at either a RL-25c or a E75c. Does anyone have any comparisons? The C-V site has only their newer stuff listed. Thanks PS - the LS-6c will soon be for sale. New without box; never hooked up.
