$900!!! smackers!!!!!! NO WAY, is this schill bidding at its best?? I could of bought a couple of these in the past few weeks for $599 NIB and WHITE!!

Friggin bonkers!

 

[MasterBlaster84]

No flippin way, it's up to $940!

I'm blown away, I would have bet against a Kaboom hitting $1000 so it's a damn good thing I didn't make that bet. :ebay:

I'd prefer JVC bring back old school sound .Bass is the one thing that hasn't been neglected by the industry since the Golden Era. If bass was the defining character of classic era sound you could claim the Kaboom to have old school sound.That certainly is not the case. Rather,I'd consider what has been missing since the classic years to actually define old school sound.Those critical elements are the highs,mids (even if they're not of the greatest fidelity),and overall volume.I'd personally like to see the Kaboom permanently retired in favor of a full range retro type design.

That said,I know some here like the Kaboom and would like to see it back in production.Certainly It would be OK for an updated design to retain the bass of the previous models but it really could use some proper tweeters.Despite its odd looks I'd actually consider getting a redesigned Kaboom if it actually was given a set.

Mine did not have the remote, and the tape deck did not work. I sold it with the service manual, got $153 for it IIRC.

totally I also agree with jovie i used to be one of those banging on about the kaboom but without real tweeters and a propper treble control the kaboom sucks, mind you i took mine round a friends and i dont know where the bass came from but it was pure jaw dropping something any other box could only dream of but most of it must have been down to the acoustics of the room the kaboom was playing in.
