YOUR NOT DENSE, I spell pho net ik ly.
Okay me and MY SPELLING. I looked it up.

Brother where Art Thou
Ulysses Everett McGill (her supposedly hit by a train husband) I'll tell you what I am -- I'm the damn paterfamilias! You can't marry him!
Penny Wharvey McGill: (referring to her finance) Veron here's got a job. Vernon's got prospects. He's bona fide. What are you?


In other words SH, your bonafide! Trained professional who’s advice holds weight~!

Oh..........

SH,

In other words, SLL was giving you a sincere compliment.

I don't own a 950 so forgive me if this question is off a little. Looking at the calibrated numbers that Kevin_R posted, shouldn't he readjust his system so that the trims on the mains are at 0? Then he could adjust all the other levels accordingly. The additive volumes he posted from his other speakers are just making up for the adjustment on his mains. His surround trims may have to go to -1 and -2 (L and R respectively) to also compensate for this adjustment. Just a thought.

One other thing Kevin_R, make sure you recheck all your connections. Unplugging one unit and replugging another can be tedious and sometimes you can miss one connection or another. Also make sure that your speaker connections are in phase. Not that I've ever done this before...

Pat, - EXACTLY.

I forget that people are not in my convoluted brain to see [where] I ‘m going. (and you prob. would not want to be )

What I was trying to ‘Heads Up’ to Kevin, was that we have several industry professionals in the forum. People unlike me! I am a purchaser of audio who merely makes stabbing attempts to understand it.
But many Outlaws, - whose business and livelihood IS audio, in one area or another.
IE: SH whose name happens to be pasted in the credits as “Senior Music Editor” on ‘Superman’ the digitally re-mastered DVD release.

..went to link to “My Pic” where there’s a rare posting of SH playing with a Howitzer, when he [I]should be[/] just working on “True Lies” but the impeg seems to be removed

Senior Music Editor? If that's the case, they screwed up my credit - I'm going to call my agent! I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!!....

BTW, I also did the same type of job on "Grease" and the "version you've never seen" DVD of "The Exorcist".

I strongly believe that break-in is a myth. I think the thing that really breaks in is your brain.

Personally I wouldn't expect the 950 to outperform your Denon, I'd expect it to be about on par. If it doesn't knock your socks off, return it, Outlaw won't mind.

I side with Philip on this one. The Denon is no slouch. Its probably just a matter of preference, although I would definitely correct your calibration before I made my final decision. Those numbers are way too high, even if it doesn't make a difference in performance.

Thanks to everyone for the info. I recalibrated as suggested. No change of opinion on my part. The Denon still sounds better to me. I just went to lunch and dropped off the 950 at the shipping company to be returned. So I guess some lucky person will be getting a nice little b-stock unit. I am on a quest to get into seperates. I will be looking at Rotel next. I am thinking about selling my 750 amp that I have sitting around. Thanks again!
