[QUOTE="genxx, post: 2784600, member: 575023"] I planned on using the ARC MX-3 which gives me the ability to go 3-way active already. I also am using an ARC MEQ-30 which gives the ability to do any EQing you would want. So is all the additional processing even neccesary. I was thinking if I just had the time alignment capability I should be covered. The 880 and CD500 have this so which time alignment is better between the two. The CD7000 is still going for around the 450 range and the 880/CD5000 can be had for under 300 easy. Looking at the Eq adjustment of both seems redundent as I am using the MEQ-30. The 880/CD5000/CD7000 will all do 3-way active is what I am tracking. But the MX-3 is a 3 -way active set-up all be it in a stand alone unit. So is there really a need for a headunit that even does active, other than having an additional option to cut out the MX-3 if desired one less piece of equipment? Just my thoughts as I work through this final piece to complete the package. Yes I now there a 100 questions on this forum about all the different head units but I have not seen anyone trying to run the same set-up as I have proposed.
