[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1631260, member: 561023"] What are you looking for a headunit to [I]do[/I] for you? All of the units you've listed are incredibly capable decks. The top three I have no direct experience with and as a result cannot comment on them with any degree of authority. The two Kenwood e[COLOR=Red]X[/COLOR]celon units you listed are both very, very nice. I've not seen the X990 in person yet but on paper the only advantage it offers over the XXV-01D Anniversary unit is the use of Wolfson digital-to-analog converters rather than the Burr-Brown units in the older e[COLOR=Red]X[/COLOR]celon decks. I cannot imagine that there is enough of a difference in SQ to justify over $150 difference in purchase price and as the XXV-01D [I]is[/I] an Anniversary edition deck I would imagine over time it will likely hold its resale value more strongly than will the X990. But overall I cannot see you being [I]unhappy[/I] with any of them so go with the one that best suits your specific needs and can be had at the best price.
