Summary: Excellence in Sound
Review: After looking for some time for a sound system that would provide quality sound, and would not take up my entire office, this JVC system is by far the best. It is one of the few purchases I am proud of.

Summary: great sound, small package
Review: After owning the FS7000 for a couple of months, here are my conclusions that I hope will aid in your purchasing decision:CONS: 1. Unit gets VERY hot. 2. Luminescent clock is annoying in that it does not "remember" the last display option that you selected. Also, I do not like the orange-coloured display. Mine cannot be changed. 3. CD drive is a bit loud 4. Remote's infra-red beam range and range angle is not that great: I literally have to stand in front of the 7000 to make it work via remote. Off to the side? Forget about it. Maybe mine's defective. Brand new batteries make no difference 5. The unit is quite long. Dimensionally speaking, the width and height is tiny but the length, I had problems in my cabinet with all my cables attached. Most likely not a big deal for most. 6. Only one CD PROS: 1. Very good sound quality/clarity. Very crisp mids and highs, but does lack low-end punch. Recently purchased a subwoofer to compliment the bass, and it makes an incredible difference. Don't be fooled by the FS8000, because for the difference in price between a 7000 and 8000, you can buy a better quality sub than one that is provided with the 8000. I would definately recommend a subwoofer to "complete" the sound. 2. Aesthetically pleasing: unit's champagne colour ,cherry-wood speakers and glass lid look more expensive than it really is 3. Coolness factor. Lets face it, as with PRO #2, it looks really cool 4. Separate BASS/TREBLE controls 5. SUB output 6. No built-in cassette deck. 7. Digital/optical out provides expandibility for MD 8. Reasonable price In conclusion, I would recommend the FS7000 for anyone looking for a small/desktop/executive system with above average sound quality. People wanting to buy this unit must first consider what the intended use is and also where. Do not expect the unit to completely fill a large space but for small to mid-size rooms, it is fine. Don't forget to try it with a sub...you will truly be impressed. I was.

Summary: not quite good enough
Review: Found the sound to be flat when playing classical music, can not seem to clearly transport the higher notes and subtle lower notes. If it can't play classical, then what good is it?

Summary: Fantastic sound and features in a tiny, good looking package
Review: I bought one of these two years ago and I'm still in love with it; and it's been updated since then with some small improvements. It has high end features like sub-woofer output, and digital (laser) input. It makes the perfect clock-radio; has sleep features and can wake you up with the radio, or music from a CD. You can even program it to wake you with a particular song. Best of all, when the alarm goes off, the volume rises slowly from 0 to the level you specify when you set the alarm. I still can't get over how great and full the sound is from the little speakers. I seriously wish I could afford to buy another one for my office.

Summary: Worth going home for.
Review: I bought the FS-7000 for my parents for Christmas last year. It's their first cd-player and they love it. The sound is beautiful and the unit is very easy to use...even for the "old folks" (sorry dad) The first cd I gave him was a limited edition Beach Boys disc (purchased from Amazon.com - Perfect Harmony is the title) - he refered to it as "the gospel" as he eagerly played it for me over the weekend...showing me that he indeed is hip to the latest technology as well as true to his roots...or is it school? It's nice to see the parents getting excited about music again. Their collection is up to around 50 cds! - I won't comment on mom's Phil Collins cd.

Summary: Incredible sound from such a small pacakage
Review: I first heard the FS- series from JVC in Florida and when birthday time came, so did an FS-2000. I immediately started a search for a suitable Sub-woofer to enhance the system. I tried a "Bass-bite" unit and was very pleased at how perfectly matched it was. Since then I have purchased several more sub's for computer's. The real plus is that JVC was on the "cutting edge" when they engineered the system with a sub-woofer output in the first place. Now you find several other brand names that are marketing the same thing with their name on it. What a neat form of flattery! The magnet structure of the speaker is as large as the mounting hole opening. As JVC has made a few changes in newer models such as the FS-7000, the basic features are maintained. The speaker has received such huge acceptance based on its performance that JVC is using it in their boom box line with unmatched performance from competitors. I have demo'd and highly recommended this unit to others for several years. I have found no other product that I would rather have invested in.

Review: I have two of these systems. One with the matching sub-woofer -- a must. Everyone who hears it asks with envy where to buy one.

Summary: High quality, easy to use, exceptional sound
Review: I really enjoy this product. It has excellent sound quality for such a small size. Stereo has a high quality look with really cherry speakers.
