Thanks for the feedback guys. Truth be known I was never fully satisfied with my AVC2500 for movies. 2 channel it was wonderfull but in surround modes it never came close to my Sony TAE 9000es. As you can tell from my picture I happen to be a big fan of Parasound products. It was a big desision for me between the HaloC2 and the 990 But I also remembered kicking myself in the pants for buying the 2500 over the Outlaw 950. so that played a big roll in my choice. I have no doubt in my mind that this was a good choice and I don't even have it yet LOL
