follow up to my original question...

Now I see I can't bi-amp my K-2s with the 1050. it has got 6 nice discrete amps, and I'll only be using 2 of them... until I get surround speakers anyway.... is a 6.1 system overkill? if not the 1050, then is there a better 2 channel value out there?

always been happy with 2 channel, but now there's a DVD player waiting to be plugged in...
