Great review for the ICBM. It is, however, not a great commentary on the internal processing of your 1050. That's that value of having those pre-amp inputs in a $500 receiver. I also notice a difference using the direct inputs, as opposed to the internal processing, with regular stereo CDs. However, I still like the internal processing for movies...it may just be the sixth channel option.

Umm...one little thing...I can't figure out the center channel not shaking thing.... but if it works...
