Woah... I didn't know that the 950 does a composite to s-vid conversion. That is nice.... in theory. I got all excited, then realized I don't own a vcr. And, if I were to buy one, I'd buy an s-vhs one anyway... they're so cheap these days.

I agree that seperates allow more flexibility, but realistically, even if I do upgrade my speakers, I doubt I'll be moving to 4-Ohm monsters... probably just better 8-Ohm speakers. So, the choice I would make would be an amp like the 7100, which to me, seems pretty similar to the amps found in some of the better receivers, although I've never demo'd the 7100, so that's just based on paper specs... which unless they're printed on Brawny paper towels, don't hold much water...
