Okay, I've figured it out.....tonight I got a good deal on some Monitor 11's, so I picked them up.....I loved the Monitor 5's in a smaller room, but the 11's are amazing. Even more exciting is the fact that my 1050 has come alive again and sounds great in both 2-channel and DD/DTS. Maybe I won't need to upgrade to separates after all Even at 65 wpc, the 1050 is one amazing piece of equipment!
