Since you'll be plugging it directly into the AV-8s without a pre-amp you should get a player with a remote that has a variable level control. Consider the Sony CDP-CE375(about $130). Also, don't overlook the convenience of a multi-disc player(the sound is the same), especially if you have, or will have, a large CD collection. The 375 is a 5 disc changer, while the 575 adds the ability to daisy-chain to their 400 CD changers.
