NOT worth $150. The best options for this price.

I did a two part review on my YT IowAudio Review channel about it. I was impressed at first, but upon further testing and listening alongside the Sony CS5, I quickly realized they didn't sound that great. Judging by a REW mic and a Dayton UMM6 they have terrible response and cheap crossovers.

Pros
  • Classic style with detachable grille
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Hidden Gem!: Home Audio

This speaker is a hidden gem. Never really heard of Cerwin Vega center channels. I was given an older CV with two 5 1/4's "Woofer that's also surprisingly good. Based on that I thought I would try the sl45c. I've tried Klipsch rp450c and 504c, Polk Audio csia6 (current), Infinity Alpha 37c, Elac 2.0 6.2c and a few others. This is the best value for money and next to Polk as my favorite. 4 woofers, but too bright for me, this speaker is a perfect balance between clarity and volume, but not…

Pros
  • Quad 5 1/4" speakers for voice clarity
Cons
  • Some little things

Cerwin-Vega SL-15 15" 3-Way Tower Tower In my humble opinion I don't think you need a subwoofer with these, so save up You'll save money in the long run if you install a 2 channel system. You can look up the specs on these speakers and from what I've read there's no reason they can't be used to listen to all types of music .Remember that I have sensitive ear issues and the high pitched tone bothers them and I can tell you the highs on these speakers are not overly harsh like some of the new…

Pros
  • Engineered for clarity and vocal clarity
Cons
  • Loads of stuff
