[QUOTE="BLACKonBLACK98, post: 3579549, member: 582218"] I have been looking at 5.1 options. Did a search and found a little useful info among a lot of home a/v results. Some questions I have: 1) I would like to be able to control the processor through the HU. I read that the Alpine W205 can control the H701 although it doesn't say that on the website. I had intended to get an AVIC-D3 but that doesn't seem to have any control over the pioneer processor. What are the best options here? 2) Looking around I notice that the 5 channels are always equal power. Is this the correct way to set up a 5.1 system or is it ok to vary the power to different speakers? 3) Assuming that all speakers SHOULD have equal power, where on earth do you find quality component/coaxial speakers that will preform well on 50w? 4) Is the Alipne MRA-D550 equal to the H701 with an added amp?
