Put Cerwin-Vega power on your desktop with the XD5s! With a super-compact design, these powered monitors put out 50 watts through a 5" woofer and 1" tweeter.

With over 50 years of speaker system know-how involving concerts, movies and clubs, Cerwin-Vega is the name you can count on to recreate the full impact of your particular music, gaming and playback situation in your home or office environment. When setting out to create the powered XD Series, Cerwin-Vega engineers made their goal to deliver optimal sound reproduction from a selection of compact systems and enclosures that fit neatly in a desktop application. In the tradition of Cerwin-Vega products key design goals included optimized frequency response, overall clarity, low distortion and decent bass performance, a Cerwin-Vega trademark.

The complete XD Series line includes a range of four models with 3", 4", 5", full range systems and an 8" Subwoofer.

I have owned these for about a year now and figured it is time to write a review. They are not designed to be professional studio reference monitors as they are not extremely flat and do not have XLR inputs. They are great for general audio playback, and get loud for how small they are. They are very solid and well built and have a good sound quality, after a year they still sound as good as the day I bought them. They should still be good enough for mixing for the novice home recording engineer (they are good enough for me). I just ordered the subwoofer that goes with them to add a little thump when listening to electronic music. I have not needed manufacturer support.
