Which head unit has the best SQ?

[Deathwish238 0]

Well everytime I narrow my choices down I find about a new head unit. Right now I'm deciding between the Eclipse 5435 and the Pioneer Premier DEH-P860MP/DEH-P8MP and Clarion DXZ755MC/DXZ855MP.

In terms of SQ, features, eqs, etc, what is my best option? I would like the lighting on the unit to be all blue as well...that matters to me. Color screens of course are an exception.

Prob the Eclipse.

P8mp is not SQ at all.

Clarion is ugly so they definetly loose.

we're all biased.. most of us use eclipse.

if you could get the pioneer P9 combo though...

oh god, if you could get the p9 combo, that'd be awesome. I wouldn't mind having that myself.

I'm a happy eclipse user though =), 8053 baby!!!

Not on your list, but the Eclipse cd-8053 is probably the best SQ cd player out there. I have one, and OMG is it awesome!

Hmm so is a BLA something I should be looking for?

If you don't need it, don't use it.

ME, I absolutely HATE Pioneer. This stems from my teenage years and constantly having problems with every deck I've ever used. I would like the P9, or ODR combo though. Different league than any Pioneer stuff.

I am a BIG Sony fan, but only of the Mobile ES stuff, which they don't make anymore. And only the higher end of it. The lower end ES stuff is crap.

Eclipse, well, I have yet to use a bad one.

HAd a couple Denon decks. Were nice, but not worht the extra $$$ IMO.

I could go on forever with this.
