I ordered my 1050 on 5/21 and received it on 5/22. Setup was a breeze. I used the video essentials dvd and calibrated everything.

I must say how impressed I am at what this $500 unit sounds like. I first listened to a couple of cd's I like to use as refernces. 1. Queens' Greates Hits (import-DDD); the 1050 made this sound great. The tightness and clarity of the 1050 made this sound like a different cd. Then on The Dave Brubeck Quartet "Time Out" cd, the warmth of the sax really came through on track 5 "Kathy's Waltz"

As far as DVD's are concerned, it only took one viewing of Saving Private Ryan to realize that I had made the right choice. The 1050 replaced a Pioneer d509s and there is no comparison. Now to get rid of the Pioneer.

It took me a while to decide to purchase this unit, but I see no reason why I will ever regret this. There is so much bang for the buck in this unit.

My only question for now, is there be a burn in period where the sound will mature?
