Hmm...my Kenwood KDC-X579 (two models down, and last year's) sounds phenomenal!

The Kenwood Excelons (579 and above) have 24-bit DAC, too.

Kenwood Excelons (579 and up, anyway)

I noticed the KDC-X579 has Burr Brown 24-bit DAC - can only guess the 679 does, too. ~20dB difference in S/N. Just a thought!

Here in North Dakota, the kick panel is a VERY iffy place for speakers. GREAT place for SNOW, though...

Such as? (thinking something for some occasional hip-hop AND rock.)

The Aiwa is actually made by Sony. I had already heard that, but also noticed the Copyright Sony Corporation (or whatever the exact wording was) on the Aiwa website! (later corrected...SONY, not Song...[HOLY **** what a difference that error made!! My apologies...])
