I bought a pair new , never heard of Cerwin Vega(I was 16). I loved them, but my neighbors complained, but you had to play them LOUD. I finally gave in and sold them, for MORE than I paid for them to a famous mtorcycle club, for one of their clubhouses, and they loved them. I was using Carver 250wpc amps and let them use one. It was night and day diggerence with plenty of headroom from the amp. I regret selling them to this day. but like you said, us old farts want our youth back and have a concert in our house!! Good Memories, especially with their built in EQ.

LOVED my D-9s. Wish I still had them. Went into debt to buy them when I was a teenager. Drove them with a pair of NAD 2100s, each bridged to mono. They had the potential to get as loud as you wanted. I filled a few gymnasiums with that sound. Man they were fun.

I love the D9, DX9 and AT-15. You so we'll explained the reason to like and want these. I have never had the opportunity to get a nice pair, but would jump at the first chance to. There are so many reasons to like these and a lot less not to. Really wish Cerwin would bring back so vintage gear.

These speakers can get loud enough to break your eardrums yet sound great at the same time. Only drawback is foam rot. I don't understand why they don't use rubber surrounds. Also the only speakers i know of that are more efficient than these are klipschorns. These d9s can get loud with only 10 watts.

My dad has 4 D-9s stacked in his basement that he bought new in 1985. Funny enough he also has a pair of Klipschorns down there that he bought in 1988. It can get unbelievably loud down there if you crank them up but they also play nicely at a comfortable listening volume.

Nice video man! I had a buddy of mine that was selling 4 of these D9's and he had all of them running through a fully-restored Sansui AU 20000 integrated amplifier. It was so punchy my pupils were practically vibrating, and my heart felt like it was going to blast through my back.

all cerwin vega speakers i have heard sound live! like you are there!

I had the AT 15`s back in the 90`s they were very nice.

Fin da quando furono progettati i primi diffusori C.V., il loro padre, ingegnere della Nasa (Gene Czerwinsky inventore nel 1957 degli amplificatori a stato solido) cercava un ascolto emozionale aprendo l'ascolto musicale a nuovi orizzonti, fino a quando nell' anno 1964 creó un woofer da 18 pollici capace di una (altissima) pressione sonora pari a 130 db (difficilmente raggiungibili ancora oggi),con frequenze ultra basse impensabili a quei tempi. Fino ad allora l'amplificazione sonora era affidata alle valvole che benché avessero una risposta lineare erogavano un numero di watt così esiguo, che si potevano contare sulle dita di una mano. Fatta questa premessa volta ad indicare il padre della rivoluzione dell'ascolto musicale, come degli effetti home theater,(Czerwinsky con i suoi SubWoofer fu il primo negli anni 60 a riprodurre un esplosione durante la proiezione di un film, facendo tremare la sala di quel tanto che bastò a fare scappare gli spettatori impauriti), affermo che quando ci si trova dinanzi a quel bordo rosso tipico delle C.V. bisogna avere rispetto. Fermo restando che non esiste un diffusore capace di riprodurre al meglio ogni genere sonoro, queste casse prediligono il rock il jazz il blues. Emettendo il suono tipico delle casse americane, regalando emozioni con l'asprezza tipica di un medio alto da Concerto live e la presenza caratterizzata dal punch di un ascolto che seppur gradevole all'orecchio coinvolge gli organi interni; la pancia il torace. Questo diffusore lascia il segno , genera invidia, difatti, dando la paga a diffusori costosissimi, crea lo sconcerto in chi pur spendendo molto in altri rinomati marchi, non é riuscito nemmeno ad avvicinarsi a tale esperienza di ascolto. Non solo dall' ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo questi diffusori vanno oltre, badando alla sostanza dei driver che contengono. Queste casse, provengono direttamente dalla mitica serie R e dalle inequiparabili Cerwin Vega D9 (capaci di una sensibilità da record con un solo watt ad un metro fanno misurare una pressione sonora di 103,5 db, chi altri ci riesce?), dalla più recente serie AT, che non solo hanno poco da invidiare sulle qualità audio a marchi ben più costosi e blasonati, ma sono nettamente superiori a qualsiasi altro diffusore che voglia competere con loro sulla tenuta in potenza , sul dettaglio dei bassi, sulle pressioni sonore di impatto, in una parola, sulle EMOZIONI.Esse sono uniche quando si tratta di riprodurre il suono di una chitarra elettrica, dando l'impressione che l assolo di quest'ultima sia suonato dinanzi all'ascoltatore. Nonostante l'ottima sensibilità dei diffusori, si consiglia di accoppiarli ad un amplificazione con caratteristiche di alta corrente in uscita (amplificatori ad alimentazioni toroidali) per sfruttarne al meglio tutte le potenzialità. Sul web é pieno di persone pronte a screditare queste casse, ma secondo la mia personale esperienza sono veramente in tanti quelli che ne parlano male senza averle mai ascoltate perché non costando molto e generando bassi da prime della classe, vengono accostate a cassoni da esterno (casse da giostrai)......NIENTE DI PIU' FALSO .....infatti presi i critici che solo con le teorie screditavano questi diffusori, messi dinanzi alla realtà proponendo loro un ascolto, al primo assolo di chitarra che gli increspa la pelle con un piacevole brivido, cambiano idea . Chi ha ascoltato le mie C.V., nonostante la maggior parte di quest'ultimi possano definirsi Audiofili da anni, con centinaia di apparecchi posseduti e o avuti in prova, sono rimasti piacevolmente colpiti dalla musica che sanno riprodurre.....quanto basta per mettersi alla frenetica ricerca delle loro prime Cerwin Vega scegliendo tra i modelli vintage precedentemente descritti,(veri capolavori) ed i modelli di ultima generazione altrettanto validi. Spero di esservi stato utile.

Love my D9. Has had many speakers but nothing beats Cerwin vega D9s

My fraternity had these hanging on the wall in the 80's. They had shelves anchored to the wall reinforced by chains. For parties we'd pull out the Yamaha integrated amp that was way underpowered for the volume we'd listen to them. They'd be clipping like crazy and popping a lot of fuses. Some idiot put tinfoil in place of the fuses when we ran out of fuses and blew them. We had to send them out for repairs. I liked them and bought a set of D7's for myself. The 9's were just too big. I actually preferred the sound of the 7's. They sounded more balanced. I still own my D7's after 35 years and they still have the original surrounds. I have upgraded crossover parts, binding posts and internal wiring. I can use my high end speaker cables with spade connectors now. It's funny hooking them up to thousands of dollars worth of electronics. I think they sound great!

I don't know about Rock Speakers, while I was stationed in Germany, Cerwin Vega speakers out numbered all the other speakers in the Barracks followed by Pioneer and JBL and ARs. Most of them belonged to R&B and Country Western Fans. Rock Guys bought more Pioneer, JBL and AR! The favorite of the guys who liked Rap Music also owned Cerwin Vegas and they earned their "House Party" Rep!

When I was a teenager my best friend’s uncle had a Pioneer SX 1250 hooked up to a pair of these Vegas and we would go over there on the weekends and drink all weekend long with his uncle, friends and family and have fun at his crazy house party’s.

They get down to 28hz on the specs and I don't doubt it. They sound as good or better than most CV!s I've heard. It's hard to beat a couple of the old school series though. I disagree with using a small amp. Sure a 50wpc amp can drive them, but not to their full potential. Power them off a 500wpc amp and see the difference. In my stupid opinion.

The D8 had one mid driver and the 15" woofer had no choke, it ran straight and just rolled off naturally. The D9 had two mids, an upper and lower, and the 15" woofer was choked via the crossover. I'm sure the theory was that model design needed more fill in the lower midrange than just what could be naturally supplied by the 15" woofer. The D9 had a bit higher power handling as well. I bought my D8's new back in the mid 1980s when the series first came out. Since then I've had them re-coned plus built new cabinets since the old ones had gotten pretty beat up over the years.

Yes, I've used these with an infamous "Flame" Linear 700 (I mean Phase Linear - lol) as well as a nice Yamaha MX1 (or was it MX2)? Anyways, they do start the party with the right amplification.

I use to own the S2's

I bought my D9 speakers in 1980 and until one hour ago they were still pumping out great sound. I just turned 70 and the 15" woofer just fell apart. The red ring is now orange from age and it finally dried out . My problem is that I no longer live in north jersey, I know live in marathon in the Florida Keys, and I don't have access to audio stores out here. Does anyone on line know of any places in lower south Florida where I can get 2 woofers new? By the way I paid 11 hundred dollars apiece for them in 1980.. Hope someone can give me some help. Thanks Looie

Just refoam them...If the voice coil is good than refoam them for cheap...it’s easy and there are instruction videos here on KZread that will walk you through it step by step...They will look good as new 😀

That is NOT a Piezo Tweeter! Dynamic Tweeter made by Foster Electric in Japan! DUH!

Because they're vintage I'm gonna guess 100-140watts RMS

My VS-12's can handle over 1000 watts RMS so I think D9 can handle more

Hy dro

Ottime casse!!!

Có ai làm ơn dịch tiếng việt được không

those don't seem to be the original tweeters.

Compression horn tweeter

They really do look like Piezo horns... You could be correct though as I've never personally dissected them to look at the construction; I.E if it a true v/c and diaphragm like in compression horns or not; However, the more I think about it, I think there is a Phenolic diaphragm in there. Thanks for sharing.

Oh man history video sound so good but video...

Wait a minute, so the exact same junky piezo tweeter and the exact same underperforming mid range woofer are immediately rendering my Canadian built Audiosphere Research speakers "junk" and "party" types, while these CV are being relegated to the audiophile status????? And all you ever hear about CV is how much bass they output, not much about treble or mid range.

Even though the tweeters and mid-ranges may look the same, they are different. If you were to remove them from the cabinet, you'd notice they have a much larger magnet and higher power handling. Probably one of the big differences with the D9 over the Audiosphere is that the D9 cabinet is made of a much heavier particle board and it has better bracing - this certainly impacts the sound. If you do a knuckle test (knock on the cabinets), you'll notice that the Audiosphere sound pretty hollow whereas the D9s not so much (they could still use some improvement though) - this is an indicator of a better built cabinet. The cabinet makes a big difference in the overall sound of the speakers. I'm sure you know this, and you are right - the Cerwin Vega is known for deep bass. I wouldn't go as far as saying Cerwin Vega is "audiophile status", but they are one heck of a party speaker! If you like the sound of your Audiosphere Research Speakers that's all that really matters. Enjoy them!

1000 to 1600 in Canada...yikes.

This d9 are junk. I had a brand new pair and the boxes fell apart after one month. The whole box made massive vibration noise and came apart at all the seems. I eventually made the same box out of marine grade plywood and made a huge difference.

Never cared for Cerwin Vega. They don't sound natural.

Cool! Be so interested in your opinion of them once you get them hooked up and have given them a good workout!
