The design equivalent of the HX-GX8 but without the DVD player, the JVC HX-GX7 is still packed with features for the discerning music fan. The portable 550-watt audio system is particular suited to people with a taste for thumping bass, as its speaker system includes not only twin 80-watt main speakers (each with two 5.38-inch cone woofers and a 2-inch cone tweeter), but two 195-watt Hyper Power Drive subwoofers. The overall effect is vast and powerful, giving listeners the ability to liven up a backyard, picnic area, or beach with dance-club-like audio ("dance club" is even one of the three live surround modes, along with hall and stadium). The system comes with a five-disc CD changer with play exchange (plays the current CD while the user adds others), in addition to an AM/FM tuner and a full-logic dual dubbing cassette deck with CD synchro start recording.
The speakers and main unit combine to deliver rich, full-bodied audio for everything from CDs to CD-R/RWs to MP3s. The flexibility extends to the music modes--one each for pop, rock, and classic, plus three custom choices. Other user favorites include a programmable wakeup and sleep timer; a demo mode; Compu play; continuous, random, and repeat play for one or all five discs; and a rotary encoder volume control. Signal transfer is coordinated by the 1-bit dual DAC.
The center unit of the HX-GX7 is compact and easy to transport, though the robust speakers are a bit bulky, each weighing nearly 30 pounds. The system is designed as a standalone unit, so it's not equipped with a wealth of inputs and outputs, though it does include a headphone jack.

1 amazing
i just have to say it is amazing. i don't know that those wattage figures are right though. mine kind of says 520W across the front of it and thats what circuitcity said it had. with 180 into each sub. this is not the GX8 w/o a dvd player this is a different stereo with a different main tower which powers differently into different speaker towers. yes i said tower! these things are HUGE. dont get me wrong in this review I LOVE IT. i bought mine of ebay though, enjoy the fact that i paid 68$ for mine!it may be used a little but it hits and it hits HARD.enjoy it!careful with the alarm tho will nock down ur house if you don't turn it off.
2 Awesome bass, crisp highs and decent mids!
Reviews for this system were very high on Circuit City's website so I decided to give this system a try. I'm very happy with this system. Allows you to set the bass to 3 different levels, personally the high setting is too much bass for me. But if you like bass this is the system for you. I especially like the sound this shelf system puts out. Sounds much better then my old Kenwood and the new Sharp system I bought for the office.
Be forewarned that the speakers are big for a mini shelf system and the system would have been better if it had RCA audio in jacks. The subs are side firing and the speakers are pretty deep. But I'm not looking to hook up an Xbox to this so for the amount of money spent and realizing this is just a mini system, well worth it!
