Bishop3,

I think you will find that the Rotel has a smoother feel to it than the 950, mainly on the analog side, SACD, & DVD/audio. It also has an upgraded component in with a bandwith of 200mhz so it would be capable of passing through 1080i and 1080p without degradation.
The Rotel lacks a tuner, but the tuner on the 950 is so-so anyway. I feel the build quality is much higher on the Rotel. It just feels "solid". But the drawback is the 1066 goes for $1499 almost twice as much. The only way I would recommend the Rotel is if you can find a used or demo unit or if money is not an issue. It all comes down to budget and what your listening needs are. If you are in the $800 range go for the Outlaw!
