My plan is to finish getting my seven 2200's, get a Salamder rack and then spring for the 990. Right now I have my lil ol' Denon driving four of my 2200's and I can tell a difference. I need to build my audio/visual library though. I'm playing my IPOD off the Denon and I have to admit, it sounds pretty darn good. Gonk, if you are out there would you respond to my post about the necessity of setting up my system again after adding the amps?

Evenin', Dog_lover. Sounds like a nice upgrade process that you've got planned (like many of us have done, picking up a piece at a time). I just saw your post and responded, by the way.
