Cerwin Vega D-8-e Vintage 15" Floor Speakers - Rare Cloth Version - Sounds 👍
I have received emails with folks asking if this is the original woofers in the boxes because almost all photos online show this set with foam surrounds and a different driver. Yes, the woofers are original. Despite the D-8 speaker already being pretty rare, there were some made with the cloth surrounds using the W15-4 driver, same as used in the 380SE. Although there is not a lot of information to be found, if you Google D-8-E "cloth surrounds" you will find some examples of these in forums of people trying to find information. I actually have a 3rd one of these, with the same driver. I purchased it on the East Coast and found these on the West Coast when trying to find a mate for my orphan unit. If you are interested in all three, let me know. I will not part it out though and will only sell to the person who buys this set, otherwise I will keep the 3rd until I find a matching mate for it.
Performance:
- Each speaker has been carefully gone through, boxes sealed, grills re clothed. The sound is perfect.
- The components are original. These are the harder to find cloth version using the W15-4 woofer. So no need to refoam these ones, the surrounds are perfect. I believe the correct designation for these are D -8-eu, assuming stands for Euro, perhaps made in Belgium, that part I do not know for sure. The "U" is used in the model # persented on the back of the cabinets, but not on the front. Feel free to correct me any info if you know the full history of the cloth version
- All drivers, tweeters, mid work as advertised.
- The speakers are in nice condition, free from damage.
- There is some nics and small wear along the edges and corners, but nothing terrible or that would be considered damage, but they are not mint.
- Still they are very nice ++ I did recloth the grills and put the original badges back in place.
- Grills are free from damage, pegs and frame are perfect. There are some scratches on the grill badges.
