Just a thought:

If you get a receiver with pre-amp outputs; you can always add an amplifier at a later date. The 950 will certainly give more control over those outputs than a receiver, but the option is there.

Seperates give a better upgrade path than a one-box solution. I know you said you're not thinking about it now but this technology is certainly changing. In a few years, your top of the line receiver is going to be missing some key features. Then you'll be stuck with not only changing your processing but also having to change your amplification. That's a key part of your system. Amplifiers may look the same according to specs but all impart their own sound signature. Do you really want to have to change that part of your system everytime some other technology changes?

Of course, Outlaw gives you 30 days to try them out. You can always try it out.
