Well, I've never seen them in a bar fight, so I don't know how "badass" they are. But they are very very good HU's.

So what about them makes them so fantastic?

7band parametric eq, 8v preouts, fast load time, clean, not alot of unecessary stuff. it make my music feel more spatial, with my 960 i had a problem with my components pulling toward the passenger side, but now with the eclipse no problems. the quality of the sound seems to have a tad more clarity, but mostly it's the spacious sound to the music the gives the edge for me.

Eclipse has absolutely zero authorized online sales, and very few unathorized sites are able to get ahold of them to sell. Your best bet would be to check ebay if you are into the buying unathorized thing. Otherwise, you'll have to pick them up at your local authorized dealer.

i bet the IVA-D300 can be had for cheap seeing that the 310 is or will be out soon.

both over the 500 budget, but the IVA-D300 has more controls and options than i'll ever understand

Yea, I've never even seen an Eclipse. Are they that badass?

Eclipse makes excellent decks and, until I bought the 8250, were the best sounding decks I had owned.

Yes, I am not a big fan of their new look but I am not buying a cd player for looks, I want to know what it can do to my system. Another customer calls me yesterday after I installed a CD5435 for him and says "if I come into the shop again and tell you I want a better sounding or louder system, kick me in the junk and tell me not to come back again".

surprised no one has mentioned clarion. Their high end units are great. I'm looking into getting the DXZ855MP touchscreen unit. Very clear units

Maybe look at the new Nakamichi cd500, plays cd's as well as mp3's. It has has 24 bit dac's and should sound pretty good. I am looking at the new MB X which should be available sometime this year.
