In Reply to: Whats the best 5.1 receiver under $300? posted by Atom on February 13, 2001 at 10:50:03:

I just purchased a JVC RX 8000V, and couldn't be happier. It's 120W, plenty of power for my 14x12 living room. As far as I am concerned good sound quality, and plenty of digital inputs, S-video inputs, etc. I did read acouple reviews on the 7000 model that basicly said good system, but not enough power to drive a larger room. The 7000 is 100W and the 8000 is 120W. That's why I chose the 8000. Also the only difference I could see between the 8000 ($275-325 online) and the 9000 ($450-500 on line) was the remote. I'm no Audiophyle, but I enjoy watching movies and music in general, and I have been very satisfied with this receiver so far.
