Here's my two cents worth, I found at first
the 950 out of the box sounded a tad bright or harsh. But with the more time I have
been listening to it, the smoother it seems. I have had it about 30 days and I'm going to keep it, I have had NO problems with it at all. I was going to compare both units myself, since I own a Rotel amp. But for
now I am very pleased with 950.
