Now I'm gettin' confused,it should be interesting.By the way,I think you'll like the sound of 990,at least for basic 2ch which is all I have till my other amp gets here.I've listened to music all weekend and a I like it more now than yesterday,for me thats a good thing.While not the last word in hifi(who thought it was for $1.1k) I can tell you its not all hype either.
