I'm searching for head units for a system upgrade I'm detailing on another thread.

But for the Head Unit I'm unsure these days what brands are considered quality sound wise, and which are questionable, especially in the mid-price range.

I'm Mostly Looking at Pioneer, Sony, Kenwood, and JVC (which I didn't think was too great but I liked the features on one.

This is the Pioneer I'm looking at.

Amazon.com: Pioneer DEH-P7200HD CD Receiver with HD Radio, OEL Display and iPod Control: Electronics

Must haves are 6 Channel Preout with at least 4 Volt signal

I'd like it to have built in HD Radio

Front Panel Aux in, USB on front is a plus.

Quality sound output.
