 If the receiver does not sound clean, then what you hear is distortion!  If
 that JVC is 0.0001% THD I'll eat my shirt.  I've had two of their receivers
 and you can't believe a word they say when it comes to publishing specs.
 They're just cheap amp sections.. all IC's, very few discrete components.
 In my manual it says that mine is 100 watts per channel minimum RMS, with
 no more than 0.007% THD.  Yeah right.  What happens to the amp when a peak
 comes along and it can't provide the instantaneous power?  That's why I
 like NAD and the like for amps.  They're honest about their power ratings.
 Some of them may not put out that much continuous power, but you know that
 the dynamic headroom is such that the thing will never clip under normal
 conditions.  Or Rotel.  Not much rated power, but what an amp!
