you cant learn everything from reading the specs? i dont know about you but specs is short for specifications for the product. i always thought that told you what the features and info about the product. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/comparison/results/0,,2076_4039,00.html this is a straight comparison. look left look right look left look right. all the differences are right there! dont get all angry when someone points out how easy it is to find out this info for yourself.Look on the site yourself, you'll see that the only difference is the premier has 2.5v more on the pre outs. Why the hell would they make a different model for just that? There has gotta be sumthin more to it and maybe sumone that has it could tell me. You can't learn everything from readin the **** specs!!! Now does someone that actually has this stereo wanna tell me whats so great about it instead of givin me a link to nothing.
