Just click on my link. The only thing that has changed is that I am now using a Polk LSI9 for a center channel and I now have a Denon 2910 for my DVD player.

I would go for the 990. It seems like there are a lot more features offered but with the same great sound as the Sherwood. You also get the Outlaw customer service which is outstanding. If you don't like it you can always take advantage of the 30 day trial and go with the Sherwood.

I have been told there are some bugs in the bass management on the P 965 but I didn't notice it. Sherwood is working on it for a firmware fix though so no worries.
