In the postwar era, the dominant electronics manufacturer in the U.S. was RCA, which pioneered the 45-r.p.m. record, and color television. It owned NBC, the network associated with early color broadcasting. Hi-fi-wise, it manufactured monophonic and stereophonic record-playing equipment (e.g., the "New Orthophonic High Fidelity" line), and maintained its share of the market. It never ventured into high-end separate audiophile equipment. After the Japanese dominance of electronics in the 1960s, RCA lessened in its presence, but still sold a lot of TVs well into the 1970s. Today, the name still exists, but I think now it's just licensed as a label for Chinese-made low-end stuff.

I worked for CV back in the late 80's, up in Simi Valley; research on coupled-cavity subs. Nice people, hope they are all doing well.

no sold all of them years ago .i had a truck that was running 12 /18 inch strokers for many years and the home stuff was sold back in the mid 2000s

As always, I did! Subscribed!

Your story line is excellent. Your voice is excellent. Your unchanging and irritating music almost makes this unwatchable. I did give you a thumb's up.

Cerwin vega L36 box design are very popular here in the Philippines, they use to compete with each other for max spl. truly a legend

I bought a set of dual 15 PA speakers and blew the tweets out. When I took them apart I wasn't impressed with the drivers. Chinese junk. But the good side was it didn't cost much to replace them. It was my fault they blew though. Lesson learned. I took the blown voice coils to my land lords and set them in different places in the kitchen and you can imagine my entertainment watching him search for that burning smell 😅😅😅

I have a pair of DX5 and LS 12s hooked to my Kenwood receiver and my basement is a concert at the push of a button and they hit so clean.

AT10 anyone?

I truly enjoyed watching

I bought an old 1970's Acoustic brand folded horn cabinet with a 18" Cerwin-Vega speaker in it. It reads about 2.67 ohms. Does anybody know if it is safe to use a 4 ohm bass guitar amp with this?

Mom loved Jazz, Easy Listening and contemporary singers, built our stereo system from a Magnavox radio/phonograph player and Magnavox speaker connected to a tube radio. As a late ‘50s kid it was amazing to listen to the old “Living Stereo” sampler LPs with arriving locomotives, table tennis matches and Stravinsky conducting a rehearsal of his “Rite of Spring”.

So how many here remove the grill from their Cerwins' just so they can see those iconic red foam surrounds and the white logo on the dist cap??

Currently using two of the CV EL-36D Earthquake 18" folded horn subs in my professional sound system. Big and heavy, but great subs for outdoor events.

At the 1 minute mark, what the heck! (lol) That's kind'a odd.

SONY is SONY, I'm listening to sony more than 60 years. The Bass guitar notes and the drums foot pedal punch and the hihat cymbals, also especially crash cymbals sounds , is extremely marvelous. Small and powerful woofers and tweeters. "" Long live SONY products "".

My buddy worked as customer service manager at Cerwin Vega in los Angeles. They were actually making speakers there. I got a whole bunch of speakers for cost of materials. I still have my CLS15s although the amp died and I replaced it with a modern plate amp.

My MOM actually owned the first two hi-fi's in our family. A Zenith theatre console that she bought herself before she met my Dad. It lasted 20 years until I grew into my Zeppelin/ELP phase [I'm still in that phase!]. Then it was replaced by a Zenith Wedge [looked like a PA console]. At this time I was reading all the serious hi-fi magazines and rock trade mag's, so I became the go-to guru about new sound equipment.

Glad I snagged the last TS-42 available from Amazon to complete my setup years back. They need to bring back the 21" stroker horn loaded subs.

Please make video about EPI and/or Genesis physics corporation..very little credit given to winslow burhoe..with that said..is there a video about edgar vilchur and Acoustic research and the many brands that trickled down from AR? Thanks I will watch all of these videos

Nearly every claim that this video makes about how people involved music in their life is as true of early 20th century as the Post-War years. Just because audio reproduction was far from perfect in 1902 doesn't mean it meant anything to consumers of the time. I have a 1926 Orthaphonic Victrola that is heavenly sounding.

Private equity doesn't help anything, they just strip out all the value along with the good name of whatever the vulture capitalist acquire.

I own a pair of At-15’s purchased new in March 1991 Had the drivers refoamed. In 2018 my neighbors enjoy them as much as I do 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎶

His sourname was Czerwiński and his parents were Polish. If he had Irish, French, German or Italian ancestor everyone would emphasize it. But in this case: "son of imigrants" and that's all.

And then along Came Andrews and Newsh... We then KNEW what bass was (and IS) :-)

HED's ...all the way...😉

It's sad to see a once proud company go the way of the dodo

Still have a pair of 217R

I use to have a Cerwin Vega power amplifier.

Outstanding I review I my CV XLS 215 on my channel. I LOVE THEM

I'm using Phillips music system from 2002 1200w three cd changer to 2025 5.1 1000w RMS sound system. Both product are superb. Thanks to Philips for there expertise in sound engineering. engineering

RIP to American made Cerwin Vegas!

Car audio/navigation: do so many cars still have frames to replace the existing radio? Or does Pioneer build the devices within the cars, that are sold with the cars from the start? Here, were I'm from, the days or aftermarket radios are over as most every car has it's own external display or just not the frame anymore, to mount an aftermarket radio.

How do you know you've hired An amateur or your production has no money?....You see, CV there.😂

You know what you'll never find in any high-end pro Audio shop anywhere in the United States? cerwinVega.😊... If you want big puffy bass that's uncontrollable.... This is the stuff....

they use to be good now not so much / look at their new speakers cheap/others for home theater are way to expensive . their old stuff is good but now just another chinese nock off

they use to be great home and car audio in 70s/90s then got sold to china /the drivers are not as good as they use to be . i have had over 300 of their driver from 18 strokers for car audio /and home audio/ i was running them when most ran kicker.but now they are just another chinese cheap driver. try the new ones they dont last////

When I was in high school in the late '80s, I had 2 12 inch Cerwin Vegas on the backseat of my '68 Camaro!!

I love vintage B and O stuff and appreciate the design, quality, and the sound that it can produce. I have a hifi at home with mostly more modern components like a YBA amplifier, Martin Logan clarity electrostatic speakers, monster power supply, and a vu setup. But I have an 80s graphic eq and my prized Beogram 4002 turntable, a Beogram rx2 table, and soon a beocenter 1900. The audio quality from the tables, especially the 4002 is astounding, highlighted by modern record recordings. It’s astonishing that a 1978 device can hang out with some really stout modem equipment and still sound great! Oh and still looking very futuristic and stylish

I have a set of the black towers. Phenomenal

I love this series of company histories. You have a real knack for finding old advertising and photos. How about doing the story on some old musical instrument electronics companies, like Sunn or Acoustic Control?

Earthquake was awesome.

I have been in and around the audio business, both for the professional world and the audiophile world since 1968. At NO TIME has Cerwin-Vega ever been known for quality or any innovations; compared to the industry giants: Electro-Voice, Altec Lansing, JBL, B&C, Klipsch and so many more. They were ONLY known for producing a BIG exagerated Bass sound...anything but High Fidelity! And let's all remember those red/orange FOAM surround drivers that ALL rotted out 5+ years after being purchased! Cheap JUNK is all they were. Much like BOSE CRAP!!!!

MX-400's were my children in the 90s.

I am listening to this on 1977 Heresy speakers

Anytime I went somewhere and was impressed with the loudness and the bass it was always cerwin Vega speakers

I have never liked vega. I call them blender speakers because they just blend everything together. They will play loud.

NAIM: "well, there is a garbage of power supply in amp you purchased but we can easily sale you a decent external one".

Great Speakers - if ya can afford them. Made in Denmark is a good thing justifying the price.
