[QUOTE="D1g1tal V3n0m, post: 5467653, member: 605253"] So I currently have a Clarion HX-D10 and am debating on wether I should upgrade to the 880, 7200 MKII or the 9887. I'm concerned with CD performance only as all my music is stored in FLAC format if it is not already on CD. My musical taste for reference is literally every type of music. Why the debate in upgrade? I'm thinking of upgrading my front stage to a 7" Mid and a tweeter. Crossover point would probably be around 2.5Khz. Would I get the same CD quality or better from the newer units? Am I better off going with a Passive X-Over then the active in the HUs? I do not ever plan on going to a 3 way Component set up. I am only concerned with the SQ and adjustments on SQ of the HU. Yes I know this is subjective and that audio is also a realm of diminishing returns but I would like opinions as I have 0 experience with the new HUs. My current set up is Clarion HX-D10, Soundstream Rubicon 300.2 (Older version), Diamond Audio M651i (Older component set), JL 250/1 V1, and a 12" IDMAX V3 D2 in a 1.43 Cubic foot Sealed enclosure Hopefully I've given enough info for you guys to help me with this. As always I appreciate any help given. Thanks, Brandon [/QUOTE]
