JVC Speakers

Unread post by antonio66 »

Since I've recently purchased a JVC amp, and thoroughly enjoying it, I was browsing ebay :doh: and came across these and wondered if anyone had pos. or neg thoughts about them.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152316010210? ... EBIDX%3AIT

I did quite like the looks of the 2nd pair.

I don't know why people bother listing items that fetch £20-£30 and in poor condition. Second pair should go straight to the skip. I have a gut feeling neither are great sounding.

Probably a "Full range" speaker, being magnetically shielded I would guess they were intended for use close to a CRT TV set.

I'm not sure they were intended to be Hi-Fi and I agree I wouldn't trust them either.
