HT Crazed,

Thanks for the review, I was hoping you got a 1066 into your system so you could compare. It seems we have found many of the same things with the 950. Excelent DD/DTS, average stereo. While I am disappointed that the 1066 is not the solution for both worlds, my wallet is glad. I will just have to contiue to look for a good integrated with HT passthrough for Stereo.

why would anyone with a 950 listen in 2-channel? If you really want to be retro, you might as well listen in mono! The huge improvement in going from mono to stereo is dwarfed by the vast improvement in going to surround sound, even if you're just extracting ambiance with DPL2.

I much prefer the image and soundstage Stereo offers over multicahnnel. In my not so humble opinion, multichannel, while good for movies and tv, is terrible for music. I have heard DPL-II as implemented in the 950. It is a definate improvement over prologic, but doesn't touch stereo in imaging.

Regards,

Mike
