Since I've been jealous of my parents' JVC sound system, with its elegant brown wood #speakers and crisp sound with rich bass, I sent out my dad on a wild goose errand today to pick up an early-2000's JVC "mini-HiFi" compact stereo sound system.
Here it is stacked on top of their sound system while I was doing side-by-side comparisons.
Their 3-drivers speakers still sound much better than these 2-drivers black ones… but mine was bought second-hand for 25 canadian pesos 😉
