I'm looking to upgrade a Marantz AV-550. I would like to get something with that does music as well as movies with very above average results. I was turned onto outlaw a long time ago and really thought about using the 1050 as a HT pre-amp. I figured that it had to do a better job with 2-channel than what I had. Well, a lot of time has passed and I'm really ready to make the jump for a 950. My only concern is how well the unit does with music. I'd be interested in your experience with the unit in regards to music.

My current setup:
[HT]
Marantz AV-550 <-- Hope to replace
Accurus Amp
Klipsch speakers

{ZONE 2}
[audio only]
NAD Amp
PSB and Pinnacle speakers

Thank in advance for your thoughts.
