I had CV RE-30's, paired with the RE-16's for surrounds, the center channel that matched the RE series, and my SUB-150 which was a massive 15" downward firing beast..... I thought they sounded just fine and dandy, and people would tell me how great it sounded while blasting away through Star-Wars, or "Blade" when it first came out, or music that I would rock..... I have since replaced them, and although I don't have anything negative to say about them for their intended purpose, I'm very glad I could afford to make them into a "basement" system for when people come over to shoot pool or play foosball..... They were great in college, but hearing what TRUE precision sound is (I'm not there yet) has opened up my ears, and made me feel foolish for a purchase I made 10 years ago..... go figure!

If you like hard pounding rock, CV's are perfect.
