Wow.

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone. I was this >><< close to pulling the trigger (how's that for Outlaw colloquialism?) when my girlfriend and I decided to spend 9 days in Europe this July. Cost: ~$1500. So, the 950/7100 may have to wait... Although I'm still very tempted. The benefit of having a quality multi-ch amp like the 7100 as a permanent fixture in my system is very tempting. We'll see...
