If you want my two cents, the HU's that 60Hz163.5db mentioned are both good. But after what he said, I'd be wary of buyin off the net (which I personally am wary of anyways, I like to buy stuff from from normal stores, I've never liked buying off the web). But anyways for me, warranty is a big thing. I have a Premier deck, and after a year and a half, the thing started to sound really f'd up after playin cd's for a half hour, sometimes a little more or less. It kept gettin worse, sounded really crackly, sound faded. Anyways, since it had a 2 year warranty, I took it in to the authorized repair place. Most of the wires had been pinched and stuff, making it full of bad wires and crimped wires to make a long story short. This had messed the cd mechanism. My whole cd unit was toast. But since it was under warranty, Pioneer sent them a new cd mechanism. I got a brand new cd unit (in the same outer casing as the one). I think back, and if I'd had a one year warranty or bought it offline, I'd be out a new deck. So I would personally get a unit from an authorized dealer so the warranty is valid.
