I currently own a 1050 and have been very happy with it. I have been very close to pulling the trigger on a 950 to go with my Parasound 855 amp, but I'm wondering what the most dramatic improvement will be if I do so. I am more interested in improving the sound quality and getting the most out of my amp than I am improving features. I know that I'm not ready for much beyond 5.1 right now, so I'm wondering if I should go with a 950 or something like a Parasound 1800. I can pick up a used one off Ebay for around 400 or so, and even though it only has DD and DTS, that's all I need at this point. With the 950, I'd be future proof, but not sure if it would be the same sonic improvement as adding the Parasound. I will likely order a 950 and take advantage of the in-home trial anyway, but was hoping some others could share some experiences about what they noticed most after adding the 950. Thanks
