"Critical Listening on a Boombox. I was astounded of the depth and bottom end these JVC PC-X100 boomboxes had...
My ears are pinned back. THIS PC-X100 images. Damn. A top performer, within its capabilities. The sound field extended several dozen feet beyond the limited space the PC-X100 consumed. It does image well. Very well. Within the limits of its 3 watts per-channel, it sounds ALIVE, and I'm a tough customer. Some of you out there with your fleawatt SET amps know its not just power that makes a reproduction good, but using those watts well makes all the difference. ~Gazdatronik, Audiokarma
This particular JVC model is "The Trilogy's Successor." The Trilogy included the JVC PC-X200, PC-X500, and PC-X1000, which were the industry's BEST-SOUNDING full-frequency range Hi-Fi stereo boomboxes ever produced, making the PC-X100 still highly relevant in the present day with its 35-year legacy (1990 to 2025) of first and lasting impressions.
Highly rated and recommended in the 21st Century by critically acclaimed legendary CNET reviewer and current youtube sensation 'The Audiophiliac', Steve Guttenberg, Vintage Japanese radio fan favorites, boombox aficionados, and JVC collectors, this PC-X100 was manufactured in March of 1992 and is AVAILABLE NOW in 2025 in EXCELLENT WORKING CONDITION and MINT COSMETIC CONDITION with all accessories. The exclusivity of the PC-X100's double cassette deck, reliable hand-tuned signal-free pinpoint analog AM/FM tuner, high-speed dubbing, hand-selected S.E.A. 3-element graphic equalizer, multi-operational CD-RCA/AUX-IN, and built-in 3-D Hyper-Bass subwoofer elevates this standout JVC PCX-100 into a thrilling multi-dimensional Hi-Fi experience with these signature features and innovative engineering that was never thought possible of a boombox in the peak evolution of the 1990s boombox technology era, which is why JVC at large became the industry standard in boombox popularity and legend, literally blowing away the competition

'The 90's Boombox Experience'
The truly hands on experience of the boombox is special.
"I always like to see the media being played.
I like the movement of it, the mechanical progression; the spooling of a tape,
the spinning of a disc. Whether people realize it or not the kinetic performance
aspects of analog physical media will surely account for some of the continuing
modern day appeal of those formats in an age of solid state digital music" ~Techmoan

READ THE RAVE REVIEWS:
"Well, as I am listening to a well recorded violin concerto on the local classical station, being able to hear where the soloist is standing on the stage, its worth my recommendation, if you come across a PC series with the "3D hyper bass" button, snap that puppy up. Post Haste. Seriously.. Violinist is breathing.. I can hear it. He tries not to during the delicate parts, but the breath is there. The JVC does not discriminate." ~Gazdatronik, Audiokarma
"The PC-X series has amazingly clear audio, even by today’s standards. The deep low bass and high mids this unit offers are excellent. It’s a very well built, quality sounding unit, that if you’re in the market for a good used boombox with deep low bass, it fits the bill. In my opinion, this might very well be the best sounding boombox ever, and if you ever find one in good condition for not a lot, get it! These were very nice boomboxes for their time, and still are nice to this day." -Keeko's Retro Korner
"The PC-X100 was smoother and clearer. (On comparing the JVC PC-X100 to 21st Century portable bluetooth speakers) It was a closer contest, but I'd rather listen to the PC-X100 any day of the week"-Steve Guttenberg, Veteran Audiophile, CNET Audio Legend & youtube sensation The Audiophiliac
"November 1992, Rolling Stone Magazine. Circuit City has a sale on JVC. The JVC brand of boomboxes CD Cassette AM/FM Portable Stereos, Great 1992 for $300 hundred bucks, but really do you think those things lasted? do you think they had any quality?
30 years! YEAH BABY...Thumbs Up! -dj_tommy_3000
