I have the same speakers and you can EQ the harshness out of the Tweeter and up the mid base mid-range. It also depends on what receiver you're using I'm using a Yamaha RX V6A receiver.
If the woofer doesn't have an orange foam long throw ring around it, then it isn't an "authentic Cerwin Vega" according to many fans. Klipsch has great speakers, but so does Cerwin Vega. The V xF series of Cerwin Vega was an experimentation that the company quickly reversed course on. I'm a huge Cerwin Vega fan btw.
@@therockman6482 Thanks for the clarification, but I only said it isn't authentic according to many fans (not all fans). I think orange surrounds are synonymous with Cerwin Vega. Actually, corporations can own colors nowadays, for instance UPS has some sort of protections for its trademark brown color. So do a host of other corporations (for their trademark colors). Cerwin Vega (if they don't already) needs to have the trademark orange surround.
I love both brands as I own both but I have to say in this video those klipsch speakers sound crystal clear. They definety have the best tweeter. Nothing compares to their titanium tweeter. But i agree they should have tuned one of tge woofers for dedicated midrange it does seem to be lacking midrange and my kliptsch floor speakers are the same way and my cerwin vega 15" floors are way more sensitive and loud for midrange, i use them as my rear channels. They pair nicely together with kliptsch
Definitely the Klipsch sound is better, but if my unic choice are CV V10F, is good inverter or not?, I have an old yamaha natural sound, and some person is selling me that CV speakers
@@boseandfriends9284 For sure. Mine were made in Simi Valley, CA. That holds some value to me, but if they sound like garbage I wouldn't be interested in them any further. I have no plans to go out and get them, but it's good info if I ever came across them. The subs aren't anything special, they do the job on a surround system.
The not a bad speaker's ,I will say yes because cv have a good market and people like them, you probably can buy them use them for few years and sale team for the same price,
I used to own a pair of Cerwin Vega AT-15's back in the 90s, they sounded great and impressed friends & neighbors (except when they complained about noise levels lol), It seems CV was in its prime in the 90s and slowly declined in both sound & build quality ever since.
My suspicion is thats its the music as well try youre demoing thru! Try A really good recording from the 70s thats remastered i wouldnt use Mettallca but that s just me? i own the klipsch rb2s there excellient with a wide range of music from prog to folk//
The older cerwin vegas are much better I think that’s just a new cheap Chinese one new ones are just so poorly built I have a pair of AT 15 and AT12 and VS 120 and VS 150 and they all are great speakers they can take a pounding. But great comparison 👍👍
I've owned and heard several CVs over the years. My favorite were AT12 but I rebuilt a set of VS 100 and man them things smoke. I bought a set of the Gibson CVs (built in China) SL 15 a few years back in hopes of that old school 3 way sound. They sound pretty good, not comparable to some of their best, but comparable to many. I would say the boxes and crossovers are of similar quality to most of their models, the SLs seem to be somewhere between a fine chipboard and real MDF, 3/4". The woofers are where the old ones kill the new ones. SL has steel, XLS has cast but I hear the boxes are terrible. If they would have put the XLS woofers in the SL boxes you basically have a DC15, or a little brother anyway. I have my doubts, but Gibson sold them and the new company may have some plans. I think they only care about car audio though.
What song are you playing with this test? Its great. Thank you for showing this test. Cerwin Vega is more of a PA type of speaker. It is built on loud performance. So you have the harshness between the Tweeter and Mid-range.
I have the rp280f. I never listened to cerwin Vega. Paired with my Yamaha receiver and given about six months for break in, the Klipsch don't sound harsh. They do with Denon. It took about 100 runs with ypao to get it where I like it. I also had to use the Denon calibration mic rather than the supplied Yamaha mic. I noticed I would get the speakers sounding good but later they sounded bad again--i think that was showing what was happening with the break in period. After about 6 months, it seemingly stopped changing sound from time to time.
Kohn if you never listened to Cerwin Vega Speakers, You most definitely are missing out check out the VS120s I can Promise you, You wont be Disappointed 👍👍
If you like the sound of that CV V-10f (which by the way is the cheapest and worst speaker series ever produced by Cerwin) imagine what you would think of a pair of AL-750's? (Or even DC-12's). Which is one of the best sounding CV's made. Look them up, you can thank me later

I just got some klipsch RP-600F and I love them
You really know your stuff. Thanks for the great, honest and detailed review. Much appreciated! 👏🏻 👏🏻 🙂
The Klipsch wow sounds amazing! Crystal clear wow!

That's not true in every case. I've seen quite a few Vega speakers with black surrounds. Please don't spread misinformation. Thanks

Many of their speakers, especially in the earlier years didn't have a red surround.
Yup gotta have the orange foam surrounds 🤙

The Klipsch for sure. The Vegas are good for loud listening
That demo music is a good choice.
Definitely the Klipsch sound is better, but if my unic choice are CV V10F, is good inverter or not?, I have an old yamaha natural sound, and some person is selling me that CV speakers
Sounds like it somting standing in front of the vegas, avoiding the sound to come out
I have a set of V12s subs. I really like the look of the V series. I have never heard them, other than subs, how is the sound in real life?
I prefer the vintage cv
@@boseandfriends9284 For sure. Mine were made in Simi Valley, CA. That holds some value to me, but if they sound like garbage I wouldn't be interested in them any further.

Someone is selling a pair of the same cerwiin Vega you have and a Yamaha amplifier for $175 dls is it a good deal? What's your opinion
The not a bad speaker's ,I will say yes because cv have a good market and people like them, you probably can buy them use them for few years and sale team for the same price,
Prob the worst cerwin in my opinion

pourquoi mettre le téléphone aussi près des enceintes ?! ce n'est pas une position normale pour écouter ! Ça n'a pas de sens...

yes,but still very enjoying speakers

I can't make it 30 seconds into that Metallica album with any speakers so you're doing better than me.
The difference is chaotic

Cerwin Vega makes good woofers. Tweeters and midranges? Not so much.
The need some improvement
He literally have the worst series

Nah their new CVXL series are better
To me, horn tweeters sound very harsh !
What are you talking about the klipsch are so clear compared to the cv
The klipsch Won....
30 year old BW 603,s blow the 280,s away better in every way in my own side by side ..
Fake Vegas they have red all around
Klipsch using cheap materials and charging too much
Cerwin Vega is wayyyyy better
very cheap plastic tweeter on cerwin vega v10f
Ik its the worst series
