Haha, I love this thread. Brings me back to college. I had massive 150LB Infinity speakers that I got at Costco for $200. It was a three way speaker with a 1" foam tweeter, a 4" paper midrange, and a massive 15" woofer. Man! Those things could really hit hard during parties. Ah, I miss the days when that was good sound...kinda.
Sounds like you want the cerwin vega. Go for it. I'm not going to stop you. Most of us here are interested in sound quality and not quantity so we continue to recomend speakers with great sound quality at the expense of sheer loudness and bass. Those CV's sound like just what you are looking for and I'm sure you will not be disappointed.
