Over the weekend I picked up a hammered JVC R-X80 at a Savers way out in Apache Junction AZ on my scrounge hunt from Cali. It was in really clean shape looking straight on but the rear and top was kinda beat up. It was missing 2 speaker posts, the AM stick ball mount was busted and it was basically scratched up. It funny because the front is absolutely SPOTLESS! I said "what the hell" and I hooked up my HPM-100's to it a pushed the power button. HOLY CRAP! This turd thumped these speakers like a unit twice its power! Crystal clear, clean, non-distorted and MPX separation like all get out. I was totAlly amazed at the clean and powerful sound this thing put out that I was literally blown away! I never realized these Super-A JVC's had it in them. For a 70WPC receiver this one sure surprised me. It has one helluva tuner to boot.
Looks like I'll be giving these a little more "cred" and I am definitely going to spruce it up.
All I can say is JVC's are going to be more in my radar!
