I'm sure the Fosgate name adds $1000 to the price tag too! I'm not sure if the unit is still under warranty (did Fosgate give a 5 year warranty and was it transferable?). I haven't YET seen a used 950 on either Audiogon, Videogon, or 'fleabay', but then I haven't been looking for more than a few weeks.

The triple crossover limit and the lack of prologic IIX don't seem like a big deal since I'm probably only going to set up a 5.1 speaker system, the room doesn't really lend itself well to 7.1. I'm not sure about the individual speaker distance settings though.

Also the unit doesn't have an auto setup mode using a microphone to set speaker levels, I don't recall if the 950 or 970 do either. (The 990 DOES). Is the avsync adjustment the same as the 'lip sync' thing?
