I'll be able to compare and A/B the 80's and 60's in my own home before I send the 60's back.

I just got the Denon receiver back from my sister and hooked it up to the M60's. There is a definable difference in sound quality. The upper frequencies are much clearer...cleaner if you will. Mid-range is improved as well. Overall the speakers also seem better balanced than with the Technics receiver.

I remember back when I first bought this receiver in the very late 1980's. When I replaced my Sherwood with the Denon I had the same experience. I could immediately tell the quality of my listening would improve.

I have an early 80's JVC receiver in my basement, rated 55 watts per ch. I wonder how/if it could handle Axioms at moderate levels....I don't think I'll try it with the M80's though.

At one point I had my early 90's JVC Pro Logic receiver hooked up to my old m60's, vp150, and a pair of Qs8's and it sounded very good. Haven't tried it with my 80's. smile

What's happening with JVC these days? I don't really see them anymore.

JVC seems to be heavily into the HD camcorder market in the USA.
In the past, JVC was a decent brand but not one I'd include in the first rank. Their video gear was quite good and they were certainly an innovator but in my experience, there were reliability troubles in the VCR days.

It's an old Japanese brand (JVC = Japanese Victor Company) and they did develop the VHS format, S-VHS, and VHS-D, the early digital tape format based on a VHS transport. Also, the VHS-HiFi format for hi-fi stereo soundtracks was significantly better than Beta Hi-Fi.

Alan

Thanks, Alan. The name "JVC" has all but disappeared around here but I admittedly haven't looked at the camcorder market.

The more I read all these posts..the more I know that I don't know anything...I didn't even bother checking my speakers...they seems to sound good to me but didn't check each speakers for issue...I guess coming/owning HT in abox before and upgrading to Axiom speakers is like night and day.

If they sound good to you, don't stress on it.
