Thanks to everyone for the replies!

I am thrilled to know that the 950 does well with a 5.1 setup!! It's a pleasant surprise. I'm even more intrigued by DPL II after reading your comments.

I don't see the delay and trim limitations as deal breakers. I will review the manual more closely. Some of it is a bit greek to me at this point. The Bass management facility is a good example of something I can't seem to grasp quite yet.

The posts by soundhound concerning his conversation with Peter of Outlaw sound very promising!!
