Just received my speakers and could not wait to hear them. According to CV's website the XLS series replaced the CLS, with improved performance see also:

I never had Cervin Vega speakers and red a lot of reviews (all of them about the CLS), before I made a buying decision. Well, I was right. I hooked it up with my new Harman/Kardon HK3490 and used big fat jumper cables. The speaker limit is 500 Watt each. The Harman/Kardon produces 120 Watts at 8ohm per channel. The impedance of the speakers is 6ohm, so you can say we talking about 150 watts per channel. With 500 Watts to play with, 150 Watts is "under-motorized" you think? Well, let's go on....

And now the test drives. I am the proud owner of a very rare Pink Floyd CD "Original Master Recording" - "Dark Side of the Moon" and guess what, this was my first pick.

Pumping up the volume to - 10 db (the HK goes up to + 10db) I reached a level where the pictures on the wall begun to move and... Read more

What can I say. These speakers are great. Have always been a Cerwin Vega fan. I own a pair of the AT series, VE series and CLS series. This is the new (2010) series XLS. These things sound great at all listening volumes. But don't be scared to turn them up when your favorite song is on. A real great sounding pair of speakers.

First off, I am not a bass fan; The one thing I hate the most is loud music.

My first impression of these speakers was that since they were larger units, they would lack detail across the board when compared to any typical studio monitors-Coming from Cerwin Vega RE's with single 15 inch woofers, I was expecting at the very least, these dual woofers to be slower; I was so wrong! These speakers are miles ahead of any of the Cerwin Vegas that thrived in the 90's. I was lucky enough to demo them prior to purchase, that's a priviledge that most may not have.

I've compared these side by side to a pair of Klipsch RF-7 , Definitive BP 7006 (both floorstanding ) and KRK Rokit 8 (studio monitors). This is what I found:

Every test I put them through, the XLS topped. Car engines sound like real car engines; Guitars have the wood reverb to them. Saxophones portray emotion.
Everything sounds natural and detailed and seems just like it were happening right in... Read more
