What Sharp boxes have you had or have?
[/quoteI really must make some new photo's because i have bought a lot of new boxes lately, but at this moment i have the VZ 2000(just bought) the VZ 2500, and the GF9292(just bought) and the GF666 ((the Devil)and a GF 6363. They sound okay but i feel they are not so loud as other much smaller boxes i have. I like a firm bass and that is what i miss in the Sharp's i own.

Dude you have luck to have the much "not bassy" Sharps . But 9292 and 6363 are good enough on bass comparing to most of the same size boxes. Ive read a lot of different opinions but my 9595 is so good on low freq that im wiring him up whit one or two of some bigger boxes and enjoying him sorta subbass in very low volumes, its not good on high volumes but for low to moderate listening have one of the best bass for that size boxMR.GROOVE said:oldskool69 said:

. Im into tumpin bass as well (playing mostly tech house and techno) and love to switch off my PA actives (they are pretty serious 4 massive ones in 7 square meter room and rms around 1300 and peak more than 3000) and to wire 777, 9595, SJ and Sanyo 920 together and enjoying the sound of them. And dude this configuration is kicking the ass of the massive PA s on low volume 
. I know it sounds wired but my hearing is saying so .

My best looker is an easy choice. My custom white JVC M70 is a beautiful boombox and took many hours of hard work to look like this...and she sounds as good as she looks... 
My best sounding box byfar is the Sony FH-207. It's 3-way soundstage, awesome power, and thunderous bass is too much for any mortal boombox. Whether listening to classical, rock, hip-hop, or jazz this boombox simply handles all types of music as smooth as silk. Truly a wonderful sounding boombox.

I think we will find there is no best looking or best sounding as we are collecters and
not so much just the run of the mill people that go in to a hifi shop and buy just one boombox
we collect because we love different thing about many different boxes
some love loud boxes some love uv meters some love leds some love 2 tape decks some love alarms (did i just discribe the c100 again)
but the JVC PC 100 is the best
:super:

As we can see we all have a different taste about sound and looks and thats fine! Today I have bought myself a KENWOOD DC 20X(there is also one listed at the BAY at this very moment). It has an extra amplifier and speakers and the sound is really incredible, it has a real strong bass-thats what i like and also enough high!! This is now my best sounding box for sure. Pics will arrive later this week because of the lack of a decent camera right now and if you are getting curious then go to Ebay, there is exactly(ok not exactly..mine is better looking..hahaha ) the same box for sale. I think this is really a rare box..you dont see it much on the World Wide Web..
Last but not least i want to thank everyone for their input and beautiful pics of their wonderful boxes!
Later this week as promised new pics from my new boxes..

My best sounding: The JVC M-90JW!!! 
My best looking: The Sanyo M9998 & The Pioneer CK-5II 
wait a second that might even be the best sounding to BUT when it comes to the bass & music stage it's M-90!!
There are so many but Ira has it hands down with a S-90 & Rotel10-it's hard to compete with the likes of those!!
Great thread-Jeff.

Nope, only 2 AA cells for the memory..so actually it isnt a boombox if that is what you mean.. but the unit with the tuner and cassette player can be used solo without the amplifier and speakers because it has two tiny speakers at both sides from the unit which also provides stereo, but that sound is very poor, you really need the amplifier and speakers and then it sounds really fantastic!. I also have the original pamflet which i will also try to photograph this week. The price from this unit was almost 2000 dutch guilders back in 1982 and that was and is a lot of money(about 900 euro's now). As an extra there was a sort of flightcase available where you could put in the complete unit with amplifier and speakers, but sadly enough it didnt come with the package..
