I like both models but it seems to me the LCM-1 lacks features it should have and has features that are uneccessary (2 zone capability & amp built in) on the other hand the 990 is unreasonably large & has the almost useless DVI switching...it is very hard to decide between these 2 because they both are not a 100% of what a consumer in this price range is looking for in a pre/pro
however, I am leaning towards the 990 because of the BM i have smaller sattelites in the rear channel & they might be better off with a higher crossover point
