from uBid Summary: The JVC RX-1028VBK is a fine receiver. Plenty of power, with clean sound. I currently use this receiver to power speakers in my bedroom and dining room via Kimber Kable. The receiver is located, or rather hidden in a pantry next to a JVC 200 disc CD player, both of which I can control any where in the house via the RF remote. Very convenient to be able to switch from CD to FM stations while in either room. I power my home theatre setup in the living room with an Onkyo TX-DS676. I actually feel the JVC has the better sound, however the Onkyo has 5 channel stereo and a learning/ macro remote. If this receiver had either of these features it would be superior to the Onkyo, IMO. I haven't experieced any problems in nearly two years of almost daily use. My ratings are: Value Rating: 4 stars, Great deal Overall Rating: 4 stars, Very good product Strengths: Plenty of power: 130 watts per channel, min RMS, driven into 8 ohms, with no more than 0.02% THD. Multi-Room/ Multi-Source, RF remote. Compu-link, which integrates JVC CD players to this receiver. Weaknesses: No 5 channel stereo, remote does not have learning capability or macro functions Similar Products Used: Onkyo TX-DS676
