eh, the specialty series is good. dollar for dollar nothing comes close to that HU, i've got one while i wait for my next hu and im really really impressed 24bit dac, 4v preouts 3 preouts, inputs, good eq, great mp3 support etc. looks nice. i probably wouldn't get any other sony, all the ones above it are pretty much better looking versions of it

even if that sony HU is a "specialty series". i would recommend to stay away from them, cuz of a bad reputation. Just be patient and for sure someone here will have a great HU for sale.

Yay, another 17 year old, but sadly this one has no idea about Sony products and shouldn't have commented for this very reason... Had you been older, you might have known of the legacy of the Mobile ES line of products, and this years specialty series as well as last years marked a nice turn around in quality with Sony mobile. I think you would only find people saying that Sony has a bad rep still if they have not used any of the new products.

I work at a dealer for Alpine, Pioneer Premier, Sony Specialty, Clarion and Kenwood Excelon, and when I needed a new deck in that price range I went with the F7715x. It is better then the 9855 I am using at the moment in my honest opinion, and I like it better then the Premier 860 I used to have. You can read my review about it in the reviews section. You can buy them for I think $225 authorized through Crutchfield (so you would have the 2-year warranty. Good luck finding a deck with the features and SQ of the 7715x at that price authorized. Feel free to PM me if you have questions.

It is not an LCD, but rather a dot matrix display. Still has a couple different animations you can choose from if that is something you look for in a receiver. But yes, it is a brushed metal look faceplate. The cosmetics are quite nice on the unit.

**** i was desperate but i think i got a good deal on my alpine 9830, about 119 shipped. i didnt do my research and now i think the display is the problem

 

[DiamondFanatic 10+ year member]

Wait? What is the display problem? and with which unit?
