Product Description
Why is it, that from most concert seats the musicians look downright teeny but sound huge? While the seats could be the result of a particularly slimy ticket broker, chances are, the sound is a result of red surrounds with "CVs" on the dust domes. For over 40 years, Cerwin-Vega has filled concert houses and movie houses with bass-blasting sound. Now the company has designed the E-Series to fill your house with the same 125-decibel, wake-the-dead, shake-the-living, big beat. If you want to build a great sounding system, the E-Series offers you building blocks. You can fit a pair of floor standing tower models into your home audio or home theater listening area. And fill the room with 400 very loud watts of pure-pounding Vega bass. Add a pair of compact E-Series bookshelf models and center channel speaker and you get full-surround, gorilla-growling home theater. Quickly, simply, and seamlessly.

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.
