Cerwin Vega Ve-5c test and review (Transformers, bass I love you, woofer cooker)

Just recently picked up this center speaker for $66 dollars off a1componets.com (free shipping). This little gem is something else. If you run a surround system in a room and have problems with low-voices or muddy bass sounds comming from your sub, upgrade to this center. Will fix alot of problems with mid-range uneveness and low-vocal volume.

My setup is very basic. I run no subwoofer at the moment so all my speakers are set to Large in the receivers settings, exluding rears (I run a Yamaha HTR-5740, 85w per channel) so what you see in this video is an exaggeration of what the speaker is meant to do. Its never suppose to handle 60hz or lower frequencies, but you will see from this video that it has magnificent excursion for mid-range woofers (5 1/4") and the tweeter is very clear and reproduces all those highs very accurately at loud levels. A center with woofers is important, because this will give you more flexibilty in your Home Theatre setup. A center with bass capabilities will relieve the Subwoofer from those tedious mid-range sounds that can interfere with its performance on delivering lower range frequencies (20-50hz range) the results with the sub doing all the bass control on your typical 5.1 system running dinky sattellite speakers is muddy, unrealistic bass performance, because essentially you have 1 woofer doing everything. A center speaker combined with good front/left speakers that can stand on its own 2 feet in delivering clear and punchy mid-ranges will allow you to set the sub cut off point at say, 60hz, which means it will focus all its attention on those rumble lows and let the left/center/right handle the mid-range bass. The results is a tighter, clearer overall theatre sound. Others may tell you otherwise, but I've tested many setups on my old sub (8 inch yamaha), and this was the conclusion I came too. I recommend the ve-5c because its incredibily affordable and does an excellent job at what its suppose to do, and is leap-years better then any sattellite speaker will do.

@drumsgotskill

Your dass speakers arent blown they just need to be re-foamed, DO NOT replace that woofer, thothing you will get will sound as good as the original woofer.

Wow my dad has a pair of cerwin-vega d-9 I believe there from 1990 and they are both blown because they are so old so I was wondering if you knew anywhere I could buy cerwin vega 15 inch subs just the speakers that center piece is amazing. I have a tiv stand for a 32 ing LCD tv and that center speaker would look amazing on it and for only 66 dollars that is a steal
