  • XLS-28's are... AMAZING!!! THE BASS!!!
So... I love these speakers. The bass is crazy! I am currently bi-amping these speakers do to the power required to drive the two 8-inch sub's and my walls are shaking! I was going to purchase a separate sub however don't think I need to anymore! The High and Mid range drivers (Two upper speakers) are crisper then my vintage speakers ($500 each)! Those are my pride and joy and now... These things are my favorite things in the world! When I pop the grille's off of them and show my friends the woofers flex and the beautiful red rings their jaw drops. The low's are super crisp and the mid and high's are breath taking. Honestly, they are some of the best speakers out there! I love my Cerwin-Vega's! (Note: Screws hold the grille on the speaker, hidden under the rubber flap at the top and bottom of grille) UPDATE: (July 1st, 2012) My speakers are about fully broken in now, I had the speakers wired for bi-amping, however recently switched to a single speaker wire (+/-) to the terminal and using the bridge provided with the speaker. I have an ear for how well my speakers sound and it sounds like the tweeters pick up some distortion from a lower frequency... On some songs this is bothersome. So I have concluded, if you are spending the money for these bad boys, BI-AMP THEM. The lows are louder and the mid's and high's are crisper! No joke! If you don't know how to bi-amp a speaker, Bi-amping in a nutshell is one channel handling only low frequency sounds and the other channel handling high frequency audio sounds. I have my Power Amp driving the woofers (Bottom Terminal), and my receiver driving the mid and high drivers (Top Terminal). I have recently switched them back to this format. After the break in period, THEY SOUND EVEN BETTER!!! I love my CV's! UPDATE 2: (September 27th, 2012) I took out the bi-amping and just have my Equalizer and Onkyo m-282 powering these beasts, I think they sound better. I have them running through my computer acting in sorts like "computer speakers" but my computer has a cool sound card that acts like a receiver... So yea... I also bought stands but had to take the rubber feet off the bottom so they are now towering 8" off the ground! I love these things and they are fully broken in and sounding amazing. Best purchase I have ever made hands down. I ran down my street a good half a mile and can still hear them turned up to a reasonable volume... lol (My Neighbors HATE me) UPDATE 3: (August 9th, 2013) Its been a year and I still think these have been my best investment and purchase thus far in my life. They still sound impeccable and look amazing on the stands I bought, link in the pictures I posted. The Setup I'm running now I'm amplifying the Dual subs separately due to my receiver clouding the highs and mids when turned up fairly loud. The subs are connected through my Onkyo M-5010 and then connected to the pre-out's on my receiver. It now completely is done and sounds amazing. I don't use them as "computer speakers" and now use JBL speakers amped with my old Onkyo Amplifier. I still a year after having these amazing speakers would recommend them to anyone! If you have ANY questions feel free to ask away! UPDATE 4: (September 2, 2018) It has been 6 years. Six long years since I decided to make these speakers my primary drivers. I have gone through two homes, four cars, two girlfriends and now happily married. Can you guess what has stuck with me through thick and thin? The good times and bad times? These speakers feel more a part of my life then a purchase. From annoying my parents, to annoying my neighbors with the parties they brought to life, from listening to the breakup songs to playing my wedding songs, I continue to stand by them, and they continue to make me smile. Thank you Cerwin-Vega. For giving me something, I hope to one day give to my children. (Yes they are built THAT GOOD.) ... show more

  • VERY happy with these! Perfect balance without too much mids (which my ear doesn't love)!
They are somewhat bigger than I expected, but I'm definitely VERY happy with these. They sound GREAT to my ear across multiple vintage receivers (Pioneer SX-780, Onkyo TX4500 MKII, Kenwood KR6600, and Realistic STA-95). The only flaw I could even throw out is that I have an old house and they wobble on the four feet. I was looking to adjust the feet like you would a dryer and it wasn't easy to do. That's a nit. Other than that, they put a big grin on my face! :) ... show more

  • Fairly good for loud music.
Fairly good for loud music. At low volume they're not real impressive, not the clearest speaker in the world. Not the sweetest for a home theater set up but they're pretty decent towers for music. Good choice for a larger size room in a house. You can run them off most receivers without an amp.

  • Excellent speaker for the money
I bought these speakers to replace an old pair of Bowers and Wilkens DM560's for my living room. I have them mated to a circa 1975 Sansui 881 receiver. I wanted a speaker that delivered more bass not only for music but for DVDs as well. The XLS-28s impressed. Their sound is every bit as good as the B&W CM9s I was also considering but at a fraction of the price. I'm a big fan of war movies and you will definitely feel the artillery with these babies. Music from all genres sound great, from Adagio for Strings to Led Zeppelin. The build quality is as impressive as the sound. These speakers are sturdy, well built and look great in my living room. I couldn't be happier with this purchase and would highly recommend these speakers. ... show more

  • Great speakers
The sound Is good, clear and crisp, the base is deep considering they are 8" woofers. I am driving them with an Onkyo 7.1 receiver that is running Bi-Amped. They could defiantly use more power, the louder I turn them up the more acoustically pleasing they sound. I have these installed in a room that is 12' wide at the wall where the speakers are and open up to a vaulted 2 story section of the house. The room is about 24' long and farther you get away from these speakers the better they sound. At about the 15-18 foot range they really sound dynamic and lively. These were purchased to replace the Cerwin Vega D9 speakers when I moved into the new house. They are not comparable to the D9's as they are two entirely different speakers. But moving from the D9's due to lack of space to these I am satisfied and would purchase a couple more if I had the space. I do think I will add a 12" or 15" Powered XLS woofer to help fill the house with the lower frequencies I am missing since removing the D9s. The only issue I have is I wish they were about a foot taller to raise the sound in a room that was not designed for watching TV. This is not a flaw of the speaker at all just for my use it would help! ... show more

  • Check your listening room first.
These are fine speakers. However, Be advised before you purchase them---these speakers are best suited of outdoor spaces or large listening rooms. There is nothing delicate about them. Sure, they'll blast some tunes and do it well. My issue was they are so bottom end heavy the tweeter and mid rande were inaudible in a home use environment. These things need space, and lots of it. Keep that in mind. ... show more
