Between Pio & Blau at that price point I'd back Blau all the way. You won;t get a good enough Pio with B&W at that price point. You'll have choice of a Blau Mumbai or Maui at that price. (Maui has 1 preout + 1 sub out. Mumbai has only 1 pre-out). Blau gives really good service too. More brownie points for Blau.

Your heart is in the right place :-) Though you don't want bling, the Maui has 16 different display colours (user-selectable).

"Mumbai" is the name of Blau's entry model. :-) You know, localization and all that.

thanx hydra shock but mostly ill get grey cause i have a good trust worthy dealer who sells pio grey.so wont be gettin that with bill and warranty.

so now do you still say blau is better ?? the prices given by speedzak for the 5850 and 6850 are grey righht..... mostly thinking of getting one of those can some one tell me what the diff is between the two.

Mugen_Power · 7th December 2006, 22:23

rev,

6850 has 3 RCA Preouts while 5850 has 2 RCA.
6850 Has 7 Band digital graphics equalier and 5850 has 3 band parametric equalizer.

Cheers,
Mugen_Power.

hydrashok · 7th December 2006, 22:23

Well if your dealer is trustworthy enough it should be ok.

The only 3 additional features the 6850 has over the 5850 (as per the Pio website) are:
- iTunes AAC playback
- 3 RCA preouts (2+sub preout) as against only 2 preouts for 5850.
- Multilanguage display (of no use to us).

I thing the 3 preouts itself is good enough to justify the 6850.

revtech · 8th December 2006, 01:01

the difference is about 1.5k.....but sound wise will there be any noticible difference between the two.

ill look around check out the two in person.also should i check out any other head units while im at it. ?

Rev

speedzak · 8th December 2006, 01:34

That 1.5k difference is worth for the extra features and upgradability. Sound? It'll be better because you can power all your speakers and sub thru an amp using preouts.

My vote is to sell some old underwear, get some bucks and buy the 6850! Nobody will know you don't wear it!

Rev,

You should have to go for 6850 because in 6850 you can select 7 ban graphical equalizer.
