from craigs list Summary:
i now have the rx-517v that i bought used some time ago and it was mint then,before i had a rx-707v which is the same yr reciever just a step above this one.as far as jvc in the early 90s was a workhorse and u could run it hrs on hrs without problems at high volumes.i bought the 707 from circuit city in 1994 and we partied every fri and sat nite for yrs and never had to repair anything.i just took off cover every once in a while and vacumned the dust out.it was rated at 100 wpc rms at 20-20.000 htz at 0.007 thd and thats low distortion compaired to anything u buy now,u look and see.i even bought 120watt transistors in 1999 and put them in and it picked up the pwr even more.in 2006 one night it finally let go all together it would power up but no sound.i did see where 2 resistors was burned but i never messed with it.its paid 4 itself and ill fix it sometime in the future.the rx-517v is still going and sounds fine.i run a 12 inch sub under my nitestand with 2 defenitive technology dr-7 and 2 small 2 way radio shack speakers for surround.jvc doesnt have bass & treble or eq settings last time i wanted a new reciever so i just went and bought a crown ce-2000 and 2 jbl tr-125-2 cerwin vega re-30 and a berringer vmx1000 mixer and blew the living room windows loose.but buy a old jvc and u will love them they are like a sherman tank.the ja series are very appealing to the eye,i have a ja-s22 that is 40wpc and its not a pwr house but its enough to enjoy.thats about it,dont take anything away from japan victor company,jvc,u will get your dollars worth,mike Strengths:
