Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $200.00 from Tops

Summary:
The JVC brand was my reason for getting this system. I am dissapinted by the cone mid and tweeter. I can't use the JVC speakers anymore, anyway, because one of my woofer blew, from my friend punching it, and my mids (BOTH) blew!!!! cant find one to replace. I called JVC and sell you a wholw new speaker systaem (one speaker) for about $100. The rolling panel is good for DJing, and I like how the CD tray locks (by stopping cd and holding stop button and the eject button. To unlock do again, or unplug if you forget.)

Strengths:
Very high power. can hook up to mixer and become DJ equipment. aux in/out. Sub out. High bass. looks. easy to replace speakers. E.g. woofer, mid high.

Weaknesses:
Cone mid and tweeter. Cheap ceramic surround tweeter hidden behind dome. CD trays take long time to open.

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $300.00

Summary:
I am disapointed with the cd player,it's amaizing how the mp3's on my PC sounds a lot better(using AUX input and a crappy Yamaha sound card).
With the cd player the voices sound dull and boxy,but with an good external source(MD player) the sound opens up.
It's easy to install a sub,and if you have the money i recommend to buy one.A good MD player might be nice since you can record a CD on the MD using the digital out,therefor bypassing the internal dac.
The amp is strong(75W rms) and has very little distorsion.
Nothing to say about the tuner,just change the suplied antena.
In conclusion i would say it has good overall sound,actualy very good for the money so i'm giving it 5 stars for value and 3.5 stars for overall
P.S:if you use it as an amp try to change the speakers with SONY SS-MF315 speakers(only 100$/pair)

Strengths:
Nice amp,decent 4-way speakers,S.A bass makes it sound a little better.

Weaknesses:
CD player is very bad,only 85db dynamic range;hights don't sound like they should.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
