This is a repeat review of the review I submitted for the JVC KT-SR2000 Sirius receiver. This KS-K6013 was purchased with the KT-SR2000.
I bought the JVC KT-SR2000 with the home connection kit (KS-K6013) and the Terk Sirius Outdoor antenna, as a Christmas present for the "house". The delivery was on time as promised and the installation was a breeze. The only problem encountered was freeing the receiver from it's titanium strength plastic packaging.
The receiver is used primarily as an alternative to CDs, and is connected directly to a Sony receiver. Eventually, I'll get some car connection kits for our cars. We are located in the foothills of Southern California and as such have poor FM reception. The audio quality of Sirius via the JVC SR2000 is obviously better than our non existent FX reception...and on the average "almost" CD quality.
With the indoor/outdoor antenna provided with the home connection kit mounted on the top of our our entertainment center, the reception varied from full bars to none. We do not a convenient location to place the antenna at a North/East facing window. So, I had already planned to install the Terk outdoor antenna and with that we always get maximum reception even during the recent heavy monsoon like Southern California rains.
I can not compare Sirius to XM. I chose Sirius over XM for a few of the extra programs Sirius offers (you can listen for 3 days free online as www.siriusradio.com) We are quite pleased with the programming, minimal DJ jabber, and lack of official commercials. Yes, they do some self promotion; but, it is very minimal...and even let us know that they had a "Sounds of the Season Channel" that we were not previously aware of. We listen primarily to classic rock and some jazz, and are pleased with the variety and breadth of the programming.
If you want excellent quality music, in a compact format, I highly recommend the JVC-SR2000 with the home connection kit (KS-K6013) and the Terk Sirius outdoor antenna.
