JVC RC 838 or RC M90

[trillbrill]

If you had a choice between the JVC RC 838 or RC M90, which would it be? Pro's and con's and differences sonically.

M90 all the way and don't look back. Nothing you need to know other than that the M90 kicks the 838's butt all over the place and back, in every department. They not even in the same league.

M90 is Grail for me

Yep, no question, the M90 without a doubt!!! You'll probably save a lot of money if you go with the 838 though.

The 838 is my worst-sounding box. Part of that could be because the bass & treble sliders don't work, so I wouldn't doubt that it's stuck on the minimum settings. But even if that's true, I doubt this box could ever be a true blaster without some serious modifications, because the chassis starts to vibrate very early, which is strange for such a heavy and solidly-built box.

M90 all the way! After that, S90 (Toshiba).
