I have run many many pre/pro's over the last 2yrs..have had classe..krell..proceed..Nuforce...parasound ..Emotiva....you know...all the higher end players but not the most recent models ..only the ones I could afford for under $1k.

right now I am running an older Sherwood Newcastle AVR the R-972 with the Trinnov EQ which people who use it say its still on another level . I havent set up the trinnov yet but as it is right now for music it is killer. better than all the units I have tried.

But I have always wanted a 976 and I am wondering how they sound for music..mainly 2.1 music. I use my sytem for music most of the time 80/20 so music quality is more important than the movie.

so how is it? im on the fence about giving up the Trinnov

I love mine.
I listen to both vinyl and Amazon Music and they both sound really good.
I listen in 2.0 because my Tekton Enzo XLs are full range floor standers so I don't need to run my subs.
I prefer vinyl because I feel that the separation of instruments is much better on vinyl and the 976 doesn't disappoint in its sound quality in this department in any way.
