Hey guys,
Dont have any experience with Cerwin-Vega or any of their products so im not sure what the deal is with them. Recently got offered a deal on a pair of CVA-28 active cabs, 1000 for two new ones. From what i can tell these things are loud but don't sound great at low spl.
Currently i own a pair of yorkville NX520p but they are kinda beet up, been tossed around and have a lot of wear and tear on them so I would be looking for something to replace them with that looks more professional.
I kinda like the idea that they are small and easy to carry / setup. Due to the 8" drivers i would defiantly need a sub to go with them. Primary use would be college parties, outdoor music playing (backyard sized) and small venues (100-150 ppl in a conference room).
So questions:
1) Are they any good? SPL vs. quality.
2) Is 1000 a good deal for two of these?
3) Would they sound best with a CV sub or a different brand (ie. elx 118p / LS720p)?
4) Is this a horrible idea and i should stick with the yorkvilles and save up for some better cabs (ie. yorkville nx750p's or ELX 112P)
Thanks guys!
