rmbg - I'll let you know. And by the way, other than the fullness, how did the 1066 sound in 2 channel? Air, imaging, realism of the instruments, degree of musical involvement etc.

Beyond hearing the fullness of sound the 950 lacks, were you able to listen further to see if the 1066 really did a good job with 2 channel?

The reason I ask is that I gave a short listen to a 1066 when it first came out and wasn't impressed with 2 channel. Then again the dealer was using surrounding equipment that was across the board lower quality than my setup, plus the 1066 was fresh out of the box without burn in.

Could you swap pre/pro's with your buddy for a couple of days to see if the sounds something you can live with?

Thanks,
