I use my 950 mostly for music not HT and like Scott Griscom, I like it for music.

I listen mostly to stereo CD's. On the 950, I compared 2 channel (plus sub) playback, to 5-7 channel (plus sub). Originally, when I first got the 950, I liked the multichannel sound better. But over time, as my ears got better educated, I began more and more to prefer playing back stereo CD's in my 950 as 2 channels (plus sub) rather than in DPL-M, DTS-M or 5/7 channel stereo. It was an educational process, where at first I preferred it one way, but now I prefer it the other way, when playing regular 2 channel CD's.

*Caveat: when I say 5/7 channel, it's meant as multichannel modes like DPL DTS and multichannel stereo. On my 950, I've only listened to 5.1 not 7.1
