Bronze Member Username: SlayaPost Number: 20 Registered: Mar-06 | Hey, i've picked out this head unit. I like the features and everything seems to be nice. Do you recommend I spend more on the premier version? I'm wondering weather there is somethign better in this price range? I really want to spend more money on the head unit, and unless you guys think I should, i'll settle for this. I'm going to be upgrading everything in my system, and to give you an idea, I will be getting CDT EF-61 6.5" components, or something equivalent. Thanks |

CDT comps are nice, haven't used the EF models, but have used the HD models. the only thing i didn't like was the silk tweeter. i like the detail of a hard dome better. but i think you can upgrade thoes now for a decient price. talk to Alteraudio about the CDT comps. |

It's supposed to come out in May. It adds Bluetooth support, a microphone and automatic time alignment features. Not sure if you need any of that...but if you're not in a hurry it might be worth the wait and the extra cash. The time alignment feature will be very handy when setting up an SQ system with the CDT comps. 2076_4313_291832622%2C00.html,http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/press/releas e/detail/0,,2076_4313_291832622,00.html (When I copy the link it puts some weird formatting in front of the "http"...disregard that stuff.) |

Bronze Member Username: SlayaPost Number: 31 Registered: Mar-06 | Hey, a little bit of an update from me.. Well, I have changed my mind on the 6800 to the 680 premier version, as it has 4v preout and happens to be cheaper for me. Also, I am somewhat considering the 7800mp, but the price seems to be a bit too much out of my price range. I heard the 24bit conversion is supposed to be really nice for SQ. http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=300&id=detailed_info&i=113KDCX790 I searched for a bit and found this kenwood unit, i'm not too sure about kenwood, i've heard both good and bad.. the features seem sketchy for some reason, I don't know why, I just find it sketchy.. basicly it's the same price as the 680 premier.. so based on the unit's itself what would be better, i wouldn't be getting a warrenty either (unautherized dealer) for either so build quality should be good too.. thanks. |

Bronze Member Username: SlayaPost Number: 32 Registered: Mar-06 | by the way the kenwood has 24 bit burr brown conversion, 3 band EQ, while the pioneer has a 16bit conversion and 16band EQ the kenwood has some other pretty retarded features aswell. |

Bronze Member Username: SlayaPost Number: 33 Registered: Mar-06 | oops i meant to say 16bit conversion and 7band eq, been up all night dead tired.. just noticed that |

Bronze Member Username: MakmillionUnited States Post Number: 30 Registered: Apr-06 | Actually the DEH-P860MP ( 2 steps up frm the 680 ) has 24-bit Burr Brown D/A Conversion with a 13 band graphic EQ. But thats if you want to step up to a way better deck  If you want build quality, I wouldnt buy last years Kenwood line ... wait until this year's line comes out or get a premier. |
