RIght now I will have a 5.1 set up. The Newcascle aside from the annoying resets (which have gotten better) is doing alright. Someone on the 950 board used a Newcastle AVR 9050 before switching to Outlaw and I would like his opinions. ALso if I stay with 5.1 set up what am I gaining besides Dolby Pro Logic II and is that worth the investment. Tomorrow when I am not so sleepy I will have a few more questions on set ups and bass management. Thanks
