Price Paid:  $300.00 from Tweeter

Summary:
My wifes system and she hates it. The CD changer is very noisey and it reads all CDs every time you turn it on or hit a button. Very poorly engineered. Also, ploblematic....

After a year or so the volume will increase to Maximum level on its own. This occurs intermittently. Started once in a blue moon, now more frequent like once a week.

I don't think I'd buy another JVC product.

Strengths:
Good sound.. Good base ... Not bad looking.

Weaknesses:
CD changer and bugs.

Price Paid:  $300.00

Summary:
Overall this system is good. The speakers are 80w each. It can go pretty loud but starts to get static at higher levels. I have a dish so I hooked them up through the Aux and it sounds much better then the normal tv. I use them when watching PPV. The cd's are played well but, it takes too lond to switch cd's. It sounds like it's coughing and then it's finally changed. Overall, this system is good.

Strengths:
Sounds good. Good base. Neat when hooked up to the tv.

Weaknesses:
static a high sound level.

Summary:
Pleased with it, but the CD loader needs improvement.

Strengths:
Good sound, great look.

Weaknesses:
Slow CD changer. At times the CD doesn't load.

Summary:
This is a great system.. doesnt compare to my HT setup downstairs but this baby got me through almost 3 years of college no problem. Plenty of power and much cleaner sound than other brands.. if you can find one i highly recommend it!

Strengths:
Good Clean sound, excellent bass for a mini system

Weaknesses:
cd loading/changing takes awhile

Summary:
over all not a bad mini system and for the price it is a good value. The one thing i would improve is chang ethe cd tray it takes way to long ot load other than that it is a good bang ofr your buck!!!!!!

Strengths:
good bass sound for the size of the system

Weaknesses:
when in an enclosed area like a shelf the bass is super but when in an open area it is o.k.
