Beesley Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Stopped by my aunt’s home earlier this week and noticed a silver face plated receiver covered sitting on a garage shelf and covered in dust. My aunt said it had been sitting there for years and that I could have it or toss it out. Cleaned it up a bit when I got home and was able to finally read the model #...JVC JR-S81W, circa 1977/1978. Hooked it up to a pair of KG.5 speakers I was using a surrounds and I honestly wasn’t expecting much. Wow, this may have been the most wrong I’ve ever been. The sound was full and the 5 1/4” woofer mover more than I’ve ever seen; not just a little, I’m talking serious excursion. I’ve had these hooked up to a Denon 2805, Denon E400, and Yamaha RX-V 2080. Non have come close to the sound of the JVC. Anyway, 2 thumbs up for vintage, and for the first time truly hearing how good KG.5s can sound. I’m thinking I Should hook it up to the KLF-30s later this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Just think how it will sound if you recap it. You may lose a little thump but increase the accuracy. Great find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beesley Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 The Bebe, Replied a few days ago; apparently I didn’t verify a successful send-off. Would this be work an electronic/stereo shop would perform? I have a highly recommended shop fairly close, not sure what the price range should be though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
