[QUOTE="clone, post: 2854866, member: 571539"] I remember when Alpine was considered "high end." If you had an alpine unit in your car it was..."ohhhhhh, aahhhh, you have an alpine." Of course that was over 20 years ago. That said, the market goes where the curves intersect...not that I'm happy about that. But if the bulk of the market is after ave. SQ with lots of power and db, then that's where the companies will aim most of their products. Personally, I'd rather have good SQ, decent power, nice appropriate bass and all very clean. On the mp3/AAC vs. CD audio debate, I can tell the difference between 320kb and CD audio in my home, but in my car it's very tough to tell. I'm a musician (not my job though) and am pretty picky about my music too. Most people would probably fail the A/B test. Anyway, I'd still like lossless support. [/QUOTE]
