Clarion does have some damn nice head units though, so I don't think you went wrong there.

Yes, actually it did...I was going to buy a PioPremier 980(?) and decided not to because of the reputation pioneer has of falling apart. I'd rather own a $1000 Clarion deck than a $1000 Pioneer deck--multimedia or otherwise.

I'm sure just cause CC goes through a buttload of the baseline Pioneer head units it wouldn't stop you from buying one of there upper level units, so why should this be any different.

Hmmmm I may look into them, but it's doubtful. Like I said, I'm sure it's foolish, but it's a pride thing.

Pioneer! BAR NONE these speakers rock! I am not sure they are 3-way, but sweet nonetheless

Oh, and I refuse to respond to someone's "Whoa that sounds good, what's in that thing?" question with "Pioneer comps". I'm sorry, but my pride just drives me above that, whether it's a good speaker or not. I know, it's probably foolish, but it's a pride thing after selling Pioneer for so long at Circuit City. :barf:[/quote]

The new alpines F1s are not made by Scan Speak, they swaped about a year ago.

But Genesis does still have a set based on the scan's and they would be a marvelous set to have.

planet audios have worked good for me

Don't forget about hybrid audio

The clarus set is supposed to be a good drop in set. The legatia sets are supposed to be very nice. You can get the legatias with a crossover as well.

Alpine has some nice high-end sets.

or that F#1 status set

I think the F#1 set is based off of scanspeak drivers.
