This carries the Asian model #'s which would differ slightly in the USA.

Everything looks about the same? At least all the upper end units do. to me.

exposed CD slot looks FUGLY.

you're right, comparatively, they are ugly. however, having to lower the face to remove/insert a cd is ultimately needless and more of a "cool" feature than useful. albeit, the major purpose of them is to allow more info to be displayed how many lines of text are really necessary?

My 880 has the RCA problem. One day, I will get the Nak and the Arc crossover/eq set.

Who said this is the new lineup.?? This looks like the Japanese or Chinese versions of the '07 lineup to me. Also, Pioneer's new models don't usually launch til late spring. Perosnally, if the 880 and 980 are the flagships once again I will just shake my head at Pioneer. Nothing against the 880 but it's been out for 2 model years now and it's time for a new SQ deck from Pioneer. Other than the P9 that is.

Pioneer make good cd players and stuff, but from a company standpiont, they are a pain in the *** to do business with and loyalty means nothing to them. Store i work for used to be a premier dealer until pioneer said they didn't want to do business with a small retailer anymore. We were one of the first premier dealers in the U.S. back in the 70's

Wow. My local Premier dealer is pretty small and Pioneer hasn't tried to pull the plug on them yet. Actually that sounds pretty weird. I mean who else is going to carry Premier?? The chains carry cheaper line and brick and mortars have always carried Premier. Well, I hope that doesn't happen here by me.

I was told by a pioneer rep that no big box stores will carry premier, only mom and pop stores, but now everyone is saying pioneer is dropping smaller stores, so i dont know.... Either way, It will be interesting to see what they release this year. Ide like to see an 880 replacement. Nothing flashy though, classy like the 880. awaits ces show to see the new lines..

Try babelfish from Altavista..works wonders.

Pioneer press release says its the new lineup.

Most models barring the higher end are already available in the Asian markets even though its the 2008 series.

Just saying.
