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!
