Merlin , I need a little more time before giving my impressions of the 990 . I have about 5 movies watched with it , But only about an hour worth of music before I changed the crossovers in my main speakers . I'd like to listen to some more music .

Still can't get over how big this thing is . I had to remove it's feet to fit into my audio rack .

I also just got my balanced cable yesturday .
