I'm nearing the one year mark myself and am also a satisfied customer. Actually, more like an elated customer. The 990/7700 combo simply cannot be beat at this price point (or any price point I'd be willing to pay, at least!)

My only two regrets are that the 990 doesn't have a second pair of 7.1 channel direct analog inputs and no HDMI inputs... which makes it hard for a fella to hook up two hi-def disc players! If my 990 had those two features, I'd probably never replace it. As it is, I am investigating connection options that will allow me to work around the limited 7.1 input issue, and will probably hang on to my 990 at least until Outlaw comes out with an HDMI-equipped prepro.
