Cerwin-Vega VS 100

With the new advancements in the technologies of sound reproduction and bass boosting especially, your bass can now sound amazingly. It's a digital thing. A lot of today's music is played through sound-stretching digital processors (like synthesizers). Then it's recorded, mixed, and mastered digitally, to expand the dynamic range. Finally, this music shows up in your house as a digital disk you access with a laser beam. Do you really think your old speakers are up to it? Enter Cerwin-Vega VS Loudspeakers. VS stands for Velocity Sensitive. And it means you'll hear every detail in today's music. From a subtle whisper to a sudden CRASH! as well as all the note-bending digitalia in between. A Velocity Sensitive loudspeaker has very fast "transient response". You see, the faster a speaker can respond to the myriad dynamic changes in musical energy, the more accurate the reproduction. There's no one particular key to fast transient response, but there is a combination. The high energy magnet and voice coil assemblies work in swift precision with refined curvilinear cones, well-damped surrounds, and lightweight die-cast aluminum frames. For starters, you can feel it in the bass. The 15" woofer can take low frequency response clear down to 28 Hertz, while handling up to 400 watts of power. To be honest, this kind of low bass is the result of gaping holes in design. They've cut dual vents in the rear panels of the speakers to reduce port compression and increase bass output. What's more, Cerwin-Vega's woofers are acoustically loaded (not unlike the musicians), such that the speaker is in perfect balance with the cabinet volume, as well as the port size. And Velocity Sensitive woofer cones have an improved stiffness to mass ratio. Meaning, they're light and at the same time, durable.
