RE: Cerwin Vegas - Finest Speakers Ever Made [nt]

I liked Gene Cerwinski's specialty sound system for the film "Earthquake." At the time his 18" driver could produce 130dB at 30Hz. A later version found its way into Russ Allee's acoustic 360 horn loaded Bass amplifier of the late 60's. A designed wained by its incredible loudness at the end of its long wavelength in small venues.

If I'm not mistaken Gene Cerwinski is credited with developing the first solid state amplifier. I owned a Cerwin-Vega 1800A stereo amplifier and an acoustic 360. The 1800 benefited stunningly from modern parts, wire, and bypassing the gain attenuators.
