I do think that the unfortunate delay with the 950 hurt its chances a lot. For instance, I was seriously considering a 950/755 combo, but I didn't want to wait and paid, instead, more for the combo I bought. I bought a used Proceed AVP and new Lexicon NT512 5-channel amp. Bryston was making amps for Lexicon and Bryston isn't owned by Harmon Kardon. HK decided to use someone they do own to make amps for Lexicon, so the Lexicon dealers had a fire sale on these amps. I ended up paying about twice as much for each piece as I would've paid for the "equivalent" Outlaw. The 950 does have more features than the preamp I bought, though.
