I recently purchased the Model 990, and boy am I enjoying it!!!.

I finally replace my old faithful Denon AVR-2802 receiver.
My impressions:
* It seems as though a vail has been lifted.
* The bass seems better integrated and more solid.
* I love the USB connection to my HTPC!!!!!

My room dimensions are 17.5' x 12' x 8'. I placed my Von Schweikerts VR2000s 34" from the side walls and 39" front the front wall. The center is 31" front the front wall on top of my Hitachi 51S700. The surround spkers are on the wall facing the prime seating position, which is situated 31" from the back wall.

After using the auto setup feature, I settled in to listen to some of my favorite music and movies.

This is truely a bargain at this price!!!

I will be playing with some of the audio features, just to see what I like and such. I'm thankful to all of you in the Hideout for your influence and reviews.

BTW: I ditched the IBCM...don't need it anymore, as it seems to muddy the sound just a little bit. One less component in the chain!!!

THANKS!!!!

Welcome to the forum! I'm glad to hear that the 990 is working out for you. That's a nice array of gear you've got keeping it company, too.

Thanks man!!!!
