Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Cerwin-Vega's E-708 loudspeaker delivers loud levels with very little amplifier power. The speaker derives its slam (including a 3 dB bass boost at the enclosure's tuning frequency) from two characteristics: its rugged die-cast aluminum woofer, designed for huge power handling and greater output with less applied power, and its high sensitivity (90 dB), which makes it extra responsive to any wattage you send its way.

With the E-708, however, it's not all about blasting bass--the speaker offers Cerwin-Vega's Acoustic Contour Controls, which let you tailor the tonal balance to your listening environment. Further refining the sound is the speaker's multidensity cabinet, which helps reduce distortion and improve tonal accuracy. The E-708's balanced-dome tweeter is also capable of exceptionally high sensitivity, so it's no problem if you and your amp happen to send it just a little too much love--the self-resetting tweeter is protected from thermal overload.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great speakers but try other Cerwin Vega speakers instead?, February 26, 2000

Cerwin Vega makes great speakers with incredible design. They have the absolute best combination of price and quality. The E-708 sounds great and you'd be amazed to hear it... BUT! The prize and size of the E-708 is not attractive. You can buy a pair of E-706s for half the price of an E-708 pair and save some money for a subwoofer. For just a little more you can buy the excellent E-710, 3-way speakers with 10-inch woofers. Both options seem more sensible, unless speaker size is really an issue (E-710s and subwoofers are pretty bulky).

4.0 out of 5 stars A great speaker with utter clarity!, January 18, 2001

These are the best speakers I've had yet. These speakers are focused and precise, althought I recommend a subwoofer for the low end. Overall, these babies are of utter musical clarity and if you want to hear every little detail in your music or movie, these are the right choice.
