Cerwin-Vega Home Theater System

I have long been a fan of Cerwin-Vega’s deep rich base. With there 5.1 home theater system you will get that and much more. The Cerwin-Vega Cvhd-5.1 Cvhd Series 6-Speaker Home Theater System won’t win any awards for aesthetics (although, not ugly), however, if you want honest-to-goodness full range, rich sound you can’t go wrong.

The CVHD Series for high definition audio for home theater is true to the earthshaking legacy of Cerwin-Vega! It plays loud, delivers great bass, and brings home theater to an entirely new level. Finally you’ll hear what you’ve been missing, from the delicate overtones of a stringed instrument to increased vocal intelligibility of movie dialog. When the action begins, you’ll feel it like never before. The CVHD Series is just what you’ve always wanted from the company that defined bass!

Cerwin-Vega knows a thing or two about movie sound. In the 70’s they brought ground breaking theater experiences to movie goers with their Sensurround speaker technology in movies such as “Earthquake” and “Midway.” They kept their focus on movie, club and car audio for the past several years until recently with this home theater setup.

Cerwin-Vega insisted the new system had to have five identical satellite speakers to guarantee seamless surround imaging. Each of those speakers host a whopping seven drivers, (six 3″ woofers and one tweeter) a design that ensures the speaker can handle power and deliver full home theater dynamics while maintaining low distortion.

I stated earlier “you can’t go wrong”. Well, I still believe that’s true of the speaker system, but there is a downside. If you want the floor standing speaker stands, you will have to purchase them separately. To the tune of $300 - $400 extra. The system does come with wall-mount brackets at least.

If a full 5.1 surround system is too much for you, Cerwin-Vega offers a 2.1 Home Theater System as well.
