I have posted that I had a slight hiss issue with my 950 and elected to replace it with the Red Dot when it was offered. Believe me I liked everything about my first 950 and like the Red Dot even more because it is so quiet. I love music and the 950 has made it even more enjoyable. My passion is home theater and the 950 stands with the best of them. Having good balance in my system is the key and the Outlaw was a good choice for me. For the price of 899 it is a super value. I could afford to spend more but why. You ask are their any happy owners of the 950. Sure hundreds of them and more everyday. They are just to busy enjoying them right now to respond to your post.
