After looking at it for a day now, the only thing that stand out in my eyes is the volume knob.
You bring up a good point DennisG. The 950 does look a lot better "in person" vs. the pictures on the net.
But, if you have those tasteful paintings of dogs playing poker and pool and stuff on the wall of your AV room, maybe cosmetics aren't such a big concern.
Hey! I resent that! I like those dogs. I think mine's an original by Kinkade! Looks great next to the Elvis on velvet painting. And the orange shag really sets the mood! I have to admit though, I would like a 950 in silver cause that would really go well with the wheels on my house.
But I wanted the features, performance, and quality inside the 950 in spite of its "underwhelming" looks. *My* opinion...
My opinion also! I'm guessing that in order to sell this unit for $899 and meet budget, the money spent on cosmetics (or design) was minimal with the "big bucks" put toward the insides. Maybe the future "higher-end" processor will knock our socks off with a super looking exterior to go with a knockout list of features. For a "little more money", of course!
