Yes. If I played a CD on one 950 and then on the other 950, I made certain the volume levels were the same, as well as the trim settings for the various channels and the crossover frequencies, of course. The sound differences I hear are not, I believe, related to volume. I compared both 2 channel and multichannel (DTS NEO:6) sound. Did not compare the movie watching experience much since I listen to music more and also, I worry that the eye's senses when watching a movie may somehow affect the objectiveness of the ears.
