Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: 'm going to start of by saying that the system is very good for the money that you get it for. I got mine for $199 at Circuit City on sale. I was looking for clean bass which I did not really achieve for a while. The internal amplifier clearly is overated and does not deliver 160W RMS to the subs. Do a price search, look for an amplifier alone unit with that power. That alone will cost you more than the whole gt88 system. The subwoofer and the speaker quality are actually quite decent, better than Sony gx45. The biggest drawback of the system is the actual speaker box. Once the volume is up, the whole thing rattes soo much. Most of the noise comes from the 'jet engines' on top the box. I fixed the problem by dynamating the top of the jet and the whole rear of the speaker box. Furthemore get a sturdy piece of cloth or a pair of socks and stick it in the round opening on top! The rattling coming from the inside is gone and you have yourself a sealed enclosure that pumps out more lows and sounds a lot cleaner. The only drawback is the sub is quiter at lower volumes. Overall I'm pleased with the system. However, it could be improved with a better amplifier and a sealed speaker enclosure which would not rattle nearly as much. For the price that you pay for the system, it's a steal.

Summary: awsome system
Review: i bought this system for the bass. it sounded ok untill i realized it has its own bass channels. i am really into bass so i hooked up an audiobahn 12 in. sub to the system as well as the 8's that it already has. now the bass is incredible. it is so loud that it shakes things off my dresser and even made a picture fall off the wall. if you want to do this it would be well worth it. all you do is take the wires from your extra sub and put the positive on the first channel and the negative on the second channel of the sub channels. if you hook up the subs that came with the system as well as your new one it will sound amazing. if you like bass this will make your head spin. i promise it is well worth it. if you are worried about burning up the amp from running all that power from it dont worry, it has a cooling fan built in. i have blasted it for hours on end and it never gets hot. if you like bass i garantee you wont be disapointed. this system also has really crisp and rich sound. i give this system five stars.

Summary: MP3 is my favorite feature
Review: I bought this unit because it had decent power combined with the ability to play an MP3 CD-R. It plays these MP3's great, from Rock to Folk to Opera, from low bit rate talk shows to high bit rate symphonies.
This unit has bass to spare, more than I want at the highest setting. It does the high end okay. For my non-discerning ear, parts of the mid-range seemed abit weak, at least from straight CD-ROMs. The mid-range seems less of an issue with MP3's in general, and I am also able to compensate with a graphic equalizer filter before I make a new MP3 CD.
The tuner and cassette are fairly standard. I wish the cassette had Dolby. I really like the control knob for selecting an MP3; you can quickly twist through a 100 song MP3 disk to find what you want.

Summary: A $250 system with $400 system sound quality
Review: I have been shopping for a mini system for over half a year. When the Sony came out with 240Watts with a 120 Watts subwoofer, I thought that was the best system under $250. However, what changed my mind was the superior sound quality of this JVC system.
The Sonys I tested, one came with 1 subwoofer, the other with 2 subwoofers. Both of the system were good until if I listened to jazz, the bass was too harsh, still in the more heavy metal music range. However, playing disco or club music was fine with the Sonys.
Okay, back to this wonderful JVC system. The second I turned up the volume of this JVC, the mid-range was smoother than the Sonys, the basss was softer than the Sonys, that was up until the moment I realized that there was the Super-Bass button and I pressed it, it was in the "level 2" super-bass level, then it was the decisive point. The bass was deeper, smoother, more controlled, more powerful and better suited to different kind of music than the Sonys. In my opinion, the Sonys are only good for heavy metal and games.
This JVC is versatile for different kind of music. I have not mentioned the treble, which was excellent and crisp as well. After I brought it home, I enjoyed jazz music, club music, classical music, and other music types.
Yet, the appearance leaves some room for desire. I do which that the JVC has more higher class appearance than the rest of the competition (such as Panasonic, Philips) which usually try so hard to compete for nowadays young gamers who like audio systems that look "funny".
Besides, the JVC does not come with Karaoke function, which is disappointing since no mini system nowadays offer karaoke functions anymore, even Aiwa has abandon the market for the gaming market and put USB input function instead.
All in all, sound-wise, this is the system one should seriously consider for under $250. You save money for not having the need to buy a separate subwoofer and you save space as well.
Yet, JVC, please perfect it by making a up-scale appearance the very next time and a karaoke function.

Summary: A very good product made by JVC
Review: I have recently bought this MX-GT88 Model stereo. I am very pleased with it. The performance is outstanding and I would recommend this product to anyone to buy it. The sound quality is there and is outstanding. The GIGA-TUBE Low-Pass Advanced Labyrinth TUBE Subwoofer technology will blow you away. This 460W stereo flexes its muscles very well when in operation. This is a higher-ups for all mini-systems. I am very proud of this stereo. I have made a very good purchace for my money and it was worth it. And trust me your money will be worth buying this model. JVC rocks all the way!!

Summary: THE BEST SYSTEM U CAN BUY..UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!
Review: Truly amazing. This system was a STEAL..and I mean a BIG steal. For only $200..amazing. This is everything you could be looking for. The Highs are great with the tweeters and the midrange sounds awesome. But of course the BASS is the big thing about this system. AWESOME BABY!! Has 3 levels u can choose from for the subwoofers and a TURBO SOUND feature which ROCKS. The bass is unbelievable. It will literally "rock" ur crib. I've said rock 2 times now, but I'm not a rock fan..this system is great for Hip Hop and Rap. Rich,smooth,quality,crystal clear music on this baby. MP3s sound SOOOOOO much better and sound like tracks from the studio!! You can turn this baby's volume on full blast! It's GREAT!! The system is stylish and just a blast to play with and use. VERY EASY setup. No stress at all about it. 460 WATTS of Heaven. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is thinking of buying a high quality sound system. GO GET IT!
