Not to mention the delayed power-up sequence which hopefully will save your speakers from popping. BTW, since I haven't actually purchased the Panamax 5300, what should be the proper delayed power-up sequence? Does the power-down sequence work in reverse of power-up? My system will have the 950 connected to 750 and ICBM for DVD-A. I will leave my DVD player, ICBM and 950 always on.

Thanks to all of you for your advise.
