The Anthem is nice, but it seems to do way more than I need. The Outlaw is a bit quirky and omits at least one feature I would like to have. In the defense of hte 950 it has many nifty things (triple xover, 80 analog on 5.1 inputs) but those are features I'll never use.

I'm not sure I could hear a difference between the 950 and the 1066, and I'm just cynical by nature when sighted listening produces this sort of result. If a person can ID the 950 vs the 1066 in a proper blind test I'd be very interested in seeing the experiment duplicated.

So the Rotel looks better and better due to just plain being a good fit to my requirements.

But I'm not going to blow this sort of $$$ without a lot of research.
