Worth noting that the above-mentioned JVC thread was kicked off by a long-standing member listening to - and preferring - a £70 JVC AX-3 to his NAIM 72 and 2x135s. That's not to say the NAIMs are no good - they are - but it goes to show what is on offer if you have a look around. Ultimately he and a number of others, including myself, ended up with the JVC AX-Z1010TN which, itself, is a big step up from the AX-3. Wonderful bit of kit.
