[QUOTE="MrBlack, post: 1252435, member: 555146"] If I were me... (thinks for a moment and checks just to make sure) [I]wait I [/I][I][B]AM[/B][/I][I] me![/I] Well then, in that case I would still go with the Clarion 9255. The amount of processing included in the 701 is so far above what a casual music listener would ever consider necessary, that having all of it and not putting it to proper use could possibly make things sound worse in the long run... The 9255 has plenty of processing capability for 99% of you out there. 5 bands of parametric eq is enough to smooth out even the most drastic of system responses, and 18 db / octave crossovers are steeper than what you find built into most equipment. And no matter what, all the processing in the world isn't going to make up for the output is lost from using the standard dac's from the Alpine 9855. [/QUOTE]
