My original plan was to pair a 990 with the EMO MPS-1. Then the plan changed to an EMO DMC-1/MPS-1 Combo. After trying the DMC-1 and waiting 2 months for the backordered MPS-1, I went back to the 990 and paired it with the 7125 and am extremely pleased with the performance. The short version is that I spent a lot of time researching the MPS-1/990 combo and think that it would be a very solid matchup...

Just my .02
