Review: Amen, Reviewer 1. I recently listened to the JVC. It blew Sony, Pioneer, and RCA right out of the water. I dont yet have this, but am going to get it soon for my birthday.

Summary: WOW
Review: I bought this system to save space and figured i would miss my old system. I listened to it in the store and it was a mistake as too much noise and very wide open space. well I got it home and was amazed!!!!! now to tell you even in the store listening to all of them the JVC sounded the best against the yamaha, pioneer, phiilips...etc. man this thing rocks! cranked all the way little to no distortion and just all around very happy with it. only complaint is the center speaker is kinda hollow sounding but the rest is solid. i bought a KLH $... center speaker to replace it and now its perfect. just to touch on what the guy said about getting better wire as the wire that comes with the system stinks! he says get 16-18 guage wire but it already comes with 18 guage wire and it does stink! get atleast 14 guage wire it makes a big difference, 12 guage is even better but depending on the wrap it might be hard to route.

Summary: Its damn good!
Review: I purchased this system around 7 months ago. Before I purchased I had listened to it at my local electronics department and it was fabulous. A friend purchased an RCA with 700 Watts output, but I come to realized that it is not the watts that count but the high quality that a system brings. This JVC once installed in my home is really good.

Summary: A Satisfied Owner
Review: I've had this system for about a month now, and it's definitely a great sounding system. I spent countless hours online, talking to people with different systems, and listening in stores before I decided on this one. The reasons that swayed me were (1) the sound - it is unbelievable. I rented a tape titled "The Dish" (don't have a DVD player yet - that's next) and at the point where the Apollo 11 lifted off I thought my house would go with it. Probably rattled the neighbors windows - but that's what a powered 120 watt sub will do. (2) The cost - very reasonable for a system with this wattage and features. (3) The form factor of the speakers - I didn't want huge boxes sticking out all over my living room and also didn't want to take out a second mortgage to get a Bose. Also, these are 8 ohm speakers where some systems use 4 ohm which I read might contribute to overheating of the receiver at high volumes. Don't know for sure if that's correct but why take a chance. (4) The brand - I've had JVC camcorders and audio equipment before and have never had a problem. Plus this system carries a 2 year warranty - twice that of most others.

Now for the down side - (1) remote is not universal - didn't bother me too much - just went out and bought one for under $20. (2) No S-video connections, regardless of what it says in the technical write up on this site. (check the JVC site) Again, didn't bother me too much because once I get a DVD player I'll just route the S-video from it directly to my TV. (3) Included speaker wire (same complaint I hear from a lot of people across all brands) is only good for tying up newspapers - invest in some higher quality (Radio Shack is fine) 16-18 gage wire for yourself.

All in all, a great system at a reasonable price.
