eclipse 5423 for $290. you cant beat the deck for the money. eclipse in my mind is the best affordable deck out there. yes, a nak or a denon is probably the best, but to the average guy, the eclipse is the best we can afford.

chopstick1981, FYI the eclipse decks sound better than alpine in sq but

they are not detachable face like the most of the other brands.

true, but the eclipse security functions are enough to scare away any smart theif. when executed right, the deck is disabled when disconnnected from the power source.
