Oh yeah its an awesome center and the price is unbeliveable for a center this good sounding. also has pretty good bass. has 2 5 1/4" woofers which go loud. but if you want somthing a little louder i suggest the cls-6c center which has 2 6 1/2 inch woofers. but this one should be plenty. it can keep up with my 12" and 10" cerwins easly.
I will admit bose is really good for home theater (i love their older stuff) but for rockin and for teckno and drum&bass Cerwins are the way to go. some my dissagree.
Wait, you're saying that Bose will rattle the house better than Cerwin Vega? Are you kidding?!?!? Bose friggin SUCKS period. CV is a much better speaker company. Bose uses cheap ass parts, some of Bose's systems cost thousands, yet they still use paper drivers? WTF
I'm sorry, but you're a fucking idiot if you honestly think Bose is a "good brand" by any means. Bose is good at one thing... MARKETING.
what a junk brand. i own a Bose's 301's and a Bose sub-woofer for my house. them junky cerwin Vega will not last on my adcom gfa-555 200 watt per channel amp ...
Cerwin Vega will last a helluva lot longer than shitty bose on your "200 wpc amp" Especially seeing as how most CV speakers are fuse-protected, they are built like tanks. Try sending 200 REAL watts to bose speakers, and they will melt into the pile of crap that they are.
Sorry to flood your page landonstraus, but I'm not going to let this dumbass talk crap about CV for a shitty brand like Bose... ugh!
Ya, that assclown is spamming my inbox and it's hella annoying. If he is infact telling the truth(which I doubt he is) his amp actually is halfway decent, though it's nothing really to brag about. Adcom is OK at best, but it doesn't compare at all to brands like Krell or Mark Levinson.
Oh and get this, he tried to telling me that his Bose 301's had WOOD drivers! ROFL I've never seen a Bose speaker use anything other than paper cones.
And he's also tryin to tell me that his Bose 301's shit all over my Cerwin Vega VE-12's when ONE of my Cerwins costs almost as much as a pair of 301's. Haha... he is pretty much the pinnacle of stupidness.
Ya hes doin it to me too. Wood would be an inefficient driver material for sure. If the adcom amp is any good its "200" watts should of melted his boses voice coils by now. i blocked him from contacting me. just like i did to that other asshole who would comment on other CV vids.
Any bass transducer with good enough ability to oscillate at a sympathetic frequency of a structure and given enough power to do so at sufficient amplitudes will always rattle, not "raddle," the walls.
Making a loudspeaker that can generate sound with a good balance of accuracy and harmony, OTOH, is far more difficult.
For the money that you may spend on Bose, you could've purchased yourself a set of competent speakers from brands like KEF. Or, you could buy a used pair of Klipschorns.
Bose makes an overpriced, mediocre speaker that's heavily reliant on full-range transducers and reflective acoustics, which is why they're never used in professional audio recording, editing, and mastering.
Simply, Bose is not accurate.
For the money, you may as well buy Cerwin-Vega. At least you're getting exactly what you paid for instead of spending several times that for a speaker whose effort had been made more in its marketing than its engineering.
I completely agree. I agree that Cerwin Vega is not the most sonically accurate. But unlike Bose, they have really good bass, solid build quality, and are at a fair price.
CV isn't trying to be anything their not. They are a LOUD speaker company, and their speakers are exactly that. Bose tries to market themselves as a high-end audiophile company... and their speakers fall terribly short of those claims.
Yeah I know you weren't dissing them, and you are right. They are decent speakers and you do get exactly what you pay for. They may not be the best for critical music listening, but I think they are amazing for HT use. They can play deep and loud(most speakers are usually one or the other), and are very good at dialogue reprodution. So if you are looking for a good HT setup, imo CV is the best way to go... other than spending thousands of course(like $3k+)
I agree, though there are other choices, like Klipsch, Polk, and JBL.
But, competition is good as it keeps everyone on their toes.
Bose, OTOH, is good at programming zombies to believe that good sound must have gimmicks and high prices instead of keeping it simple and getting the basics right.
Like single malts, the most expensive isn't always the best and everyone has different tastes. Just like some people may like Laphroaig over the Macallan or vice versa, the same holds true for speakers.
I liken Bose to Black Label; drinkable but, like many other blended scotches, don't compare to single malts.
Or, by using vodka instead of scotch, Bose is like Grey Goose: overpriced and unimpressive when a cheaper Stolichnaya or Ketel One has better taste for less money.
high current means the amp puts out a fast clean current to create high frequincys and hard hitting bass to the speakers (mainly just high-quality capacitors in the amp i think)
I have a vid of my 606 and I briefly mention and show the Cerwins in a couple of my vids(check my HT setup vids). But my camera is utter crap so that's why I haven't put up a vid of them playing :P
Nice ;) 5/5 and check my audio ;P

Adcom merely makes an adequate amp.
Bose makes an overpriced, mediocre speaker that's heavily reliant on full-range transducers and reflective acoustics, which is why they're never used in professional audio recording, editing, and mastering.

15 year old speakers and they sound spectacular. Just goes to show the quality and the durability of these King's of Sound.
