Click Here For The Digital Edition Today's Review Cerwin-Vega P1000X P-Series Loudspeakers By Strother Bullins The P-Series is one of two powered live loudspeaker lines by Cerwin-Vega, the other being C-V's flagship CVA Series—quite possibly the best all-around PPA (portable PA) gear I've ever used.

For this review, I received a P1000X pair (at $699 street, each), a two-way bi-amped full-range bass-reflex speaker featuring a 10-inch LF driver and a 1 3/4-inch HF driver; polypropylene cabinet with steel accents and handles incorporating a flush waveguide and 18 gauge perforated steel grille; and a Class D amp providing 1000 W of peak power.
