[RWebb]

thx for all the advice, everyone - I will be using a separate amp on this

one comment I read said the the PRS 80 was not nearly as nice as the P99RS

$1,200 does seem a bit steep, however...

unfortunately, there is no way I can listen to any of units with good speakers - I can listen to some Alpine units in one store here but with their speakers, their "listening room - it's almost all glass walled - etc.
