There are a number of folks around here who have used both the 950 and the 1066. I don't know if there have been any recent comparisons of the 1066 to the currently shipping "blue dot" fix of the 950 (most took place a year or so ago, with the original or the red dot iterations of the 950). At that time, the concensus was that the 1066 tended to be a bit warmer than the 950 (which some people might prefer). The 950 may not be quite as good as the 1066 on two-channel, but again that was based on earlier versions of the 950. Until one of the gunslingers with first-hand experience drops in here, here are a few threads you may want to peruse:
Outlaw vs Rotel impressions 950 vs Rotel 1066 I think the 950 is pretty capable of holding its own against the 1066. They actually share a lot of the same processing hardware (Cirrus chipset), and they offer very similar feature sets (as can be seen on
this chart ). The 950 offers a lot of bang for the buck, especially if budget is an issue. Also, if you plan to hang on to the Anthem amp, you could pick up a pair of 200's -- the total would set you back around $1375 plus shipping, compared to $2000 plus shipping for the 950/755 combo.
