I have a hard time getting used to the characteristics of "high-end" speakers...My usual listening pair was Cerwin Vega 300 SE's from '90.I don't like the way CV built a limiting capacitor into the high crossover. It basically filters frequencies above...

A down-right terrible speaker. I admit, suitable for parties when loud, continuous music playing may be necessary, but other than that they lack in every way possible. Dont waste your money. Spend less money and buy something with more detail and clarity.

Listened to a lot of speakers. The CVT-12's are the best for deep base and not in your face. They will continue to impress you as you upgrade your stereo's power output to infinity. They are sold separately because the woofers are opposite each other.
