Kenwood X859 - good features, nice sound
Pros
Lots of features, very customizable, MP3 is always a plus, hide away face works great!
Cons
Keep that manual around to figure out settings, only 20 months of life
Recommended it?
Yes
I purchased this receiver back in 2002 for my new Tahoe I purchased. I looked specifically for a MP3 player unit and that had the hide away face (D MASK ).
I had about 18 months of trouble free usage from this receiver. Then I had to start resetting the unit (via the front panel reset button) to get it to start working again.
In November of 2004, I upgraded my system with a new 5 channel amp. I used the front/rear/sub pre-amp puts from the receiver and turned off the internal amp (hoping it would fix my intermittent problem).
January 2005, the receiver just crapped out. I absolute loved this receiver (while it worked). I guess about 2 full years of usage is good, but YMMV.
