One other item I forgot to mention:

Someone asked me to compare the MC-8 to the 950 in terms of locking onto a digital signal from my DISH network receiver. While this was very annoying with the 950 in this mode I find that the MC-8 locks on so much faster that it is a non-issue. It's not instantaneous, but it is so quick that I don't lose any dialogue when channel surfing.

I'm very satisfied with this aspect of the MC-8's performance. It was my biggest complaint with the 950.

Also, if you haven't in a while, check out my HT website. It's redesigned with a lot of new items.
