Well, I just bought a B&K Reference 50 for some reason. I am very happy with my 990 evaluation right now but found a deal I couldn't refuse. I will let everyone know how the comparison turns out. Anyone care to speculate or have experience with both?

The one thing about B&K I like is the hardware upgrades for reasonable prices. Yes you have to send it back and it takes a while for them to be available but I like the idea of having an upgrade available in a couple of years because I always seem to get the itch around that time. This way I could just send away and get the unit updated for around $500 and have some new stuff to play with.

To be honest, I am tired of looking around for a pre/pro that offers everything. I just want to find one and stick with it for a while.
