        Well, I was just guessing, as I've not personally seen a JVC 
integrated amp, just receivers.  That and the fact you originally called it a 
receiver. :)

        There are a few good receivers out there.  Radios don't take up much 
more space.  Now the tendency is to put Dolby processing in there too.  AC-3 
is also now starting to appear in several receivers.

        Well, I hate to state "numbers," because they often aren't very 
meaningful in terms of how an amp sounds.  I doubt you'll run into any Class 
B stuff anyways.  To reliably hear distortion, you typically need numbers in 
the 5% or greater range, but it also depends on the frequency, although some 
claim otherwise.  I don't really want to make any broad statements on how 
amplifiers sound based soley on their biasing class.

        I haven't personally heard them, no.  I don't spend a lot of time 
listening to headphones, so I've never auditioned a lot of models.
