New Alpine site/products are up!

Do you think prices will drop a decent amount soon for the 2005 Alpine head units soon? I was looking at buying one but figured on waiting until the new line was released.
IIRC last year Crutchfield had a pretty big blowouts on the previous years models. I'd be sure to keep my eye on them if you are looking.

 
it seems that they are definitely heading in a multimedia oriented direction, with much less emphasis on your standard cd player, as far as head units are concerned. i mean, the top of the line 9857 barely has any of the features of the middle of the range from this past year. and the retail prices are going down, leading me to assume they want you to buy one of their dvd units.

Not true. Look at the 9990 combo that I linked in my last post.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well geez, that is quite an expensive combo.

but if you just want something that plays CDs/mp3s, you are hard-pressed to find anything affordable in Alpine's new lineup, that has what previous years top end models (9835, 9855) had to offer.

Ageed....but for 2 channel audio and DVD-Audio compatibility it would be a very sweet sounding stereo setup.

 
Gah this is just irritating...

If I'm going to upgrade the HU now it looks like I need the DVA-9861 -- and a P9 or something... Atleast they both have optical outs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif -- or just wait a year and hope they put time alignment and a decent xover back in...

 
woah looked at the 701 again.. i will for sure be getting a 9860 or 9861
I didn't get a chance to ask Alpine at CES, but am I to understand that both the DVA-9860 and DVA-9861 have full control of the H701? Or is the CUX-701 commander still obligatory?
