Hello
I have had these majestic speakers for 10 years now (and love them for all genres of music - especially jungle, dub, techno etc)
However they are very large and am thinking of replacing them with another set which can give similar bass delivery but smaller footprint
Thinking possibly a 2:1 set up
Any recommendations for something that can come near to huge bass of 4x15" woofers?
Thanks
If you´re happy with those, i can assure you no other will satisfy you,
I in 89 bought some AT-100 for my new system as i had only 70´s components but good ones ,this all my life and i wanted a black system,
modern after so many money spent , the 70´s material is far too good compared to late 80´s early 90´s Pioneer, Sony ES and Nakamichi,
ended up buying a good system from Pioneer Urushi and not URUSHI series, also other brands like CEC, Thorens , Rega but the 70´s equipment even a cheap receiver with 30 watts conected to the cerwin-vega giving a not so loud sound but perfect,
when using again modern good material was louder but in sound quality was a shame, i had equalizers at home all my life ,only in 93 when starting to buy more cds i felt the need of one,
all this to say if your cerwin-vega´s are good, no other will satisfy you , i´ve bought many litle speakers with power but never so good as good boxy speakers ,
by the way, now it´s fashion , old boxy speakers and they cost a lot of money, try some tannoys and see if they are good for you ,
Elac is other great brand in speakers or wharfedale, but if you like yours ,keep them,
i hear a lot of music styles if they are good and the cerwin-vega are really the best or old klipsch , JBL, Altec Lansing, etc.
About Electronic music ,i was a dj for 35 years but always used two 79 , SL-1210 mkII ,never had a problem and in 2010 sold both for 500€, with two cartridges and new stylus for them ,each , Shure professional and Ortofon concord .
Having bought the first groovebox from Roland ,i added a sampler and a midi keyboard and made my own music ,first was House ,like the hacienda style that i entered in it, this still in the 80´s ,
as the style i liked later, Psychedelic Trance(found it too slow,but a very good mood), than Electro, Electro Clash and the mix of the best from all styles ,after i stoped, but still listen to good electronic music,
i hear all that sounds good to me, i grew up in the punk years so my first band was a punk band as it was a life style choice about clothes and look, there were Anarquists (mostly in Germany)but not like in the past some don´t even knew who was Bakunine.
I do love rock and all that came from it´s tradicional form. Try new speakers before buying them but if they don´t satisfy you ,keep the Cerwin-Vega´s
