No, I'm not taking it personal...........
I don't care to see someone try to turn others off on something, because they had a bad experience with one or two. It may be the reason, and probably is, the repair shop got more JVCs, because that was the brand that the local stores were selling. I have found most towns that have several stores selling stereo equipment (a few yrs. ago, like you said), all sell the same brand. Once in a while one store might sell another, but on the most part, they all sold the same stuff.
If most of the stores in my town sell Sony, then the repair shop is gonna be full of Sonys, etc.......
Like I said......myself and a lot of others have never had a problem with our JVCs, so we tend to recommend them, as being good, reliable equipment. Then someone that happened to get a bad one, which anyone with any common sense knows it can happen, comes along and plants a seed saying the repair shop was full of them.......... You could have just as easily said, " I had a bad experience with one before." Just don't try to give the impression they're the sorriest stuff out there, by saying the repair shops are full of them. If you don't like them.........fine. Don't try to turn everyone else against them.
