Wow, Doug, that says a lot! I can sort of relate cause that's what happened to me when I discovered Magnepans, lol. I'm glad you guys chimed in....a 990 might be exactly what I need.

And by the way, just for the record, I certainly don't have any problem with the 950....it's a helluva unit! I just have a window of opportunity to upgrade to more of a high end system, and I want to get the most out of my 2-channel listening.
