jgubman: I'm having the exact same static problem, but I don't have a 950. I use Outlaw 200s for amps, and a Denon 4800 for a preamp. I have switched out just about every component in my system and the static will not go away. I've tried different amps, cables, speakers, DVD players (and LD players). The "best" demonstration of this is to play the chapter in T2 when John runs into the employee corridor of the mall, and the janitor yells at him: "Hey! You're not allowed in here". The "Hey!" is badly distorted.
