Update
its been a long time since ive been on here, been very busy. anyway im posting as ive got a story to share. when i first bought the Cerwin-Vega VE setup (about two years ago), it was great but within six months the VE-28s sub started to emitt a crackling sound at random times, whether it was recieving signal or not. it got worse and cerwin replaced the amp assembly. six months later same prob, tried different rooms and sockets, and still crackled. so again back for repair, replaced another part of amp, not sure what. well happened AGAIN about 5 months ago (different house this time) and this time they gave me a brand new replacement of the same model. guess what???? three weeks ago.............crackling. so took it in and im been givin the CLS-15sx! stoked!! it will be here in a few days so will post pics, its a large unit, 63cm H x 53cm W x 72cm deep. It turns out the VE-28s had a flaw and alot where having problems identical to mine. so ill keep you guys posted, the bass i had before was insane so this coupled with the VE-12s should be fun!!!
