JVC brings its SX-M7 speakers to Japanese shores

by Steven Kim, posted Sep 10th 2008 at 10:27AM

Well-known Japanese marques don't find their way into many HT speaker setups, but the Japan-only SX-M7 from JVC has decent looking specs, at least. Specs alone are a terrible way to get the full measure of a speaker, but fill a floorstanding, slanted-back cabinet with a pair of 19cm (7.5-inch) woofers, a 14.5cm (5.7-inch) midrange and a 1.9cm (0.75-inch) tweeter to cover a range of 26Hz - 65kHz, and things are off to a good start. That 65kHz mark leaves our ears ringing, which might explain why the ¥315,000 ($2,950) pricing doesn't fully register -- that kind of money moves these into Paradigm and B&W range, for example, which is some pretty formidable competition that might make these more of a brand-loyalty proposition than a cost-competitive one.

I am sure they will be very good, but I could not get over the brand.
