I think the blue dot 950 sounds better than the red dot 950. I also like that the blue dot can be played louder than the red dot.
the 950 *is* more senstive than some of the other components
I hope future products from Outlaw won't be as sensitive.
The 950 isn't alone in that area. My Velodyne HGS 18 subwoofer is also quite sensitive. It auto-powers on when it receives music, like it should. But it also auto-powers on when I turn on incandescent lights in the room, and when the refrigerator motor in the kitchen cycles on.
I've heard Velodyne has a newer version of the HGS 18 that supposedly fixes some of the problems in the original HGS 18.
