[QUOTE="patjai, post: 918513, member: 558009"] I see a lot of people suggesting Eclipse for SQ because of the 5V/55 ohm impedence thing. My question is... if I don't have an amp, would an eclipse hu still sound better than 'other' brands? Or do I really need an amp to take advantage of it? And I want at least a CD5435 if I do get Eclipse (simply for the 5 way illumination), I really hate the red on the lower models. If I get that, I would have to wait to save up for an amp. So will this still sound better than another unit in the same price range (both without amps)? I don't want to settle for something less simply because I don't have money right now. I would rather buy what I can afford now and wait for the other things. At least I'll be able to play CD/mp3 in the meantime. Oh yea, and any recommendations on amps or speakers to go with the Eclipse would be great too. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
