In this day and age of nearly-disposable consumer products, I am impressed by how well my 950 has held up. Ok so 5 years is no big deal in comparison to my speakers and amps, but I could imagine moving my 950 to another more "basic" HT set-up (master bedroom perhaps) and having it continue in service for many more years to come. Even with a spare stereo amp that I have lying around, and a pair of spare bookshelf speakers, it would make for a good stereo set-up using nothing but its FM tuner.
