[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8121097, member: 576029"] it doesn't require a CD player. the 80prs is nothing compared to the JBL MS-8. Pioneer is fairly disappointing in the noise, menu structure, and build quality department. And the MS-8 is flat out a better investment. A lot of people jumped on the 80prs, and after dealing with it, a lot jumped back off. I avoid Pioneer completely after spending 10 years helping people deal with their problems. There are 3 other manufacturers that put a lot more care into their HU design (Alpine, Kenwood and Clarion). I agree your effort should be one of two things: 1. a MS-8 as described above. 2. focus your efforts on making the front doors as good as you possibly can, including the amplifier quality, and door treatment (absorption, seals, deadening). both options should result in you running active and not bi-amp. you want to take control over the crossover points and slopes. the sub and sub amp you have are fine. no reason to change if you are happy.
