The fact that these are digital amplifier is great for ppl like me with limited space.

Thanks for the review.
Not much information out there on these yet.
I'm happy you did this.
I'm now subscribed.

I think you've missed an important, techical point as to why these receivers are labelled 'modern' - these are one of the very few AV receivers at any price to use Class D amplification. What's also interesting is that JBL give ratings for all channels driven, not just the usual 2 channels by most other manufacturers. And they also include basic room correction to get the user up and running out of the box.

Very detailed reviews and comparisons. Thank you for all of your hard work.

EZSet EQ was the Harman/Kardon brand AVR calibration, on My AVR 760 there was even an EZSet EQ II version as it was able to calibrate 2 separate subwoofers. It worked quite well there were two sets of measures, « near field » to measure the speakers themselves and « far field » to measure what was the room influence on the sound. It worked quite well tbh.

Great video I have this JBL 7100 I soo happy but how ca n I see seething in my tv?

[bearclaw]

Thanks for covering these. Unfortunately I don't see anything to tempt me from the more traditional options.

i like the simplicity of the 9100 and would probably try one
in a small room setup...

I'm curious how JBL utilizes those full-graphic-screens on the HP Models. If they'll show cover-art and a spectrum analyzer during streaming, it'd be big benefit over those dot-matrix screens other companies still use in way more expensive AVRs.

Very nice detailed review of product. I have a question. In 710 receiver, can Dolby atmos speakers be assigned to rear surround?

[ebarbie]

The only reason I'd consider a JBL AVR is because of the HARMAN/Lexicon Logic-7 sound mode. But unfortunately, yjey no longer offer such mode in the new line of AVRs. So, I'll stick with Denon...

No Preouts is a bad move by JBL on these new AV Receivers
Good can purchase licence for Dirac Calibration on higher end models

[BlessingEagle]

You didn't mention that these are class D amplifiers. Otherwise, great review.

I can not get any video to display!!! Lg g4 oled and the ma 710. Everything works great except Apple TV and ps5 plugged in to the ma710 and it will not allow pass through Earc all correct too. Help!

[BoRerunn]

I returned the 710, it can't hold the bi amp mode

[Audiomainia]

All units are Class D amplification / THD is 0.5% - terrible numbers.
This is quite frankly terrible - any sensitive speakers will highlight the distortion.
And no mic included? Use your iPhone? That's a joke. JBL should have stayed away from the AVR game / I mean come on - not even an AM - FM tuner? And made in China for this kind of money?
This line up will fade away like Harmon Kardon did when they went to Class D amps - somebody at H/K didn't get that memo.

I spent a few minutes on it in best buy, it looks cheap, shoddy plastic, I don't like it!
