Don't know why this didn't click with me before. I use an older Parasound (HCA-800, bridged to mono) on my surround back channel. When I first got it last year, I had the gain turned up very high and got some noticeable hiss from my surround back (this was when I had a 1050 as my pre/pro). It wasn't noticeable during listening, but when there was no signal and I walked into the rear of the room I could notice it. When I set up the 950, I pulled the gain down on the Parasound, which effectively eliminated the hiss from that speaker (not counting hiss very near the speaker). The other channels (driven by a 750) did not exhibit this hiss with either the 1050 or the 950.
