And a three way tie; Rising 20/20, Prosonic 9962, Lasonic 931 (These sound so similar and all are good!)

Honorable mention goes to the Panasonic RX5085. awesome sound stage and great to listen to at medium volumes.:thumbsup:
any louder, not so much. :-/

If I wanted to choose based on overall balance, including design, then of course I'd put the CP-7/5 up front. But the ones I selected can punch better thus giving them the advantage. :-D

I feel bad for my other boxes that I didn't put on the list.

What about Sayno Big Ben, Sharp GF-777Z, Panasonic RX-5350, JVC M-70, etc....?
I hope the boxes I didn't put on the list don't hold it against me, I love them all. :smooch:

i think the rx 5350 and the big ben were left out due to the lack of people who own them ,those are big money boxes and and even if you had the money finding some one who wants to sell is another problem ,iv'e heard/ seen both of these boxes and they do deserve a top spot in any collection.as for the gf 777 and m70 i love em both.

Very true Floyd :-D

I was actually referring to the boxes I have that I didn't put in my list, now I look at those boxes and wonder how can they not be in the top five. I have about a dozen boxes that should be in the top 5 so how can we pick just 5. :huh: :hmmm:

:lol: dont feel bad for the boomboxes that are left out. they are boomboxes they dont have feelings hahaha.

hey the purpose of a thread like this is to perhaps get people thinking about other models that they have not heard or have not thought of getting.
it really isnt about sound quality beacause to each there own there own ears will like one thing and maybe another not so much.
also one day they might like one more than a another then go back and change there minds.

No way bill I never change my mind, I don't think. Well maybe I do sometimes, now that I think about it I don't ever change my mind well at least I don't think I do. :huh: :hmmm:

Well, five more years of collecting and my top 5 has changed!

The range I have now has made it hard to really separate things, so no numbers this time.

My best sounding five, now, would be:

JVC-M90
Big Ben
National 5350
Crown 970
Conion C-100

But it'd be really easy to add in Aiwa CS-880 and Toshiba S-90 and my Sony FH...



Rock On.
