There are quite a few people on here I trust and I have a question. While I was waiting on the 978, I purchased the Marantz SR5005 so I'd have HDMI switching(media room). I had the Outlaw 950 prior. I don't know that I've seen a good reason to buy the 975 to replace the SR5005 acting as a pre/pro. Is the musicality/movie dynamics better with the 975 than they are with the SR5005? I'm a firm believer in Outlaw products, I currently have the 7900 and LFM-1 EX and LFM-1 Plus(media room). I just don't want to buy, just to buy. I'm thinking it might be better to grab the OSB-1 sound bar for my equipment free room that has a 60" TV. Any thought's would be appreciated.
