JVC Loudspeakers

[Marco]

Not sure if they were sold over here but I like the look of these
Bass driver cones are a blatant copy of RCA's LC1-A

Bloody hell, that looks ‘proper’!!

I found a thread on another forum about JBL not long ago where there was speculation regarding the purpose of the slant lens plate. I gave them the data I had on it and would have contributed more but it seems the forum owner Richard Cranium runs the HiFi verion of Animal Farm. Napoleon, Squealer, Snowball & the Old Major are all there and only Napoleons version of the truth is allowed, so I left them to wallow in their small minded delusions.

Name and shame, Andy, I say! Which forum are you referring to?

Oh, and yes, big JBLs rock! Quite a few of the vintage ones are utterly drool-worthy….

RCA and JVC were part of the same group of companies. The group now includes Kenwood as well.

Yes, I forgot that RCA had retained a minority shareholding after selling JVC to Matsushita

It's the one where the owner practices biassed moderation of the worst kind, deleting posts to alter the history of threads to suit his own agenda while allowing his acolytes Squealer, Snowball & the Old Major free reign. Bizzarely these are the very traits he campaigns against.

What happened was: One of his acolytes I now call squealer wrote "Dont fall for it Dave Dont whatever you do ask him" which I took as humour and responded in jest with an analogy to the alegory of the cave and Napoleon took offence and told me not to play games. Now if I had started "the games" I would have left it at that, but his modus operandi of of not applying his forum rules on a fair and just basis brought his true character to the surface and posts started to be deleted, and and after it became obvious I was dealing with a closed mind and ridgid dogma I posted no more.

No loss to me as I've never before come across such an unwelcoming paranoid, clueless bunch of idiots who clearly did not appreciate my input.

A chap over on wigwam has or at least had a pair of those JVC's a few years back... His were branded Victor though. IIRC they replaced a pair of keilidh in an all Linn system.

Many JVC products were branded Victor. As I'm sure you know the JVC stands for Japanese Victor Company.

This is a Victor speaker:





(incidentally, Rotel were Roland Electronics. There seems little reference to that anywhere)

These whopping great horns are Victor FB-5 speakers. Interesting.





(they look rather like a pair of big horns I built using Japanese Coral Beta 10 drivers)



These are also Victors, don't know the model, impressive though. Huge mid domes and an array of slot lens horn tweeters.

Aye, they made some lovely kit.

I was wrong, they aren't the same but do use a similar bass driver: http://www.hifiwigwam.com/showthread...ng-Interesting
