I switched from 9835 to drz9255 and I'm more than happy.

If you want to stay Alpine, wait for the 07 lineup, they basically have 9835 with 24 bit BB chips = 9887 (http://www.alpine-usa.com/images/products/catalog/2007USPC_010207.pdf). But I wouldn't hold my breath, I got disappointed with Alpine .

And Hardwrkr mentioned a really nice alternative. PRS880 .

But from the list of your equipment it looks like you don't need all these units with fancy xovers, because you are not running active, or are you?

If you don't need xovers in the deck much, I'd look at Denon/RF units.

That's all I got.
