5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good..., April 24, 2005

This review is from: JVC THC5 Home Theater System with 5-Disc DVD Player and Floorstanding Front Speakers (Electronics)

This is a step up from my 420-watt Sony Receiver with a separate DVD player. I've been wanting to upgrade because I've wanted to play DVD-Audio discs. I think this is a great bang for the buck. You get 1000-watts with a 5-disc changer, ability to play DVD-Audio in 5.1 at 96khz/24-bit. I like the fact that it is an all-in-one system--less fuss and muss in the back of the player. I also like the Hand Clap setup that makes it a breeze to calibrate each speaker. I set this up very easily. If there is a downside, it's that this system is very BOOMY. I live in a rather small apartment so I've had to turn the bass nearly all the way down and the treble all the way up. And even then, there's some BOOM leftover. I had a JVC DVD player back in 2001 and they've definitely improved on their players. I also love the fact that your front two speakers are towers. Very nice. Now I have to go and revisit my whole collection of DVD-Audio and DVD-Video discs...

System hooks up pretty easy...Great looking. I have a JVC Silver Matching TV Set and stand...Sub has high bass...Have to set it at a minus 2 so the pictures dont fall off the wall...I like JVC products and this system sounds great

If there is one movie that you watch on this system - it was to be War of the Worlds. The sound is crisp and the bass really sucks you into the movie.

Aesthetically, it's very pleasing. The towers site nicely, flanking my TV. I just have to find the time now to pull wire through my house so that I can mount the smaller satellite speakers to the back wall. I think it'll be worth the time though.

There were a couple of other similar systems that I looked at (Sony and Panasonic) and this one really had the best bang for the buck.
