A few thoughts. First, since the blue dot revisions to the 950 design (which includes any 950 built in the last year or so), many users have noted that it seems to take longer for the 950 to burn-in -- a greater sense of change in sound over the course of a week or so than earlier designs exhibited. Between that and the fact that replacement units are coming, I'd wait for the replacements to sweat it. Second, curegeorg makes a good point -- particularly for surround sound material, calibration can make a world of difference. Two channel listening is not so critical for it, but for DVD's it's mighty important, and very easy to do. Third, how do you have the changer hooked up? IF it's connected via analog cables, the changer's DAC's (a critical piece of the sonic puzzle) are still in the loop, which may be helping to define the nature of your system's sound. You may find that it helps to switch to a digital audio cable between changer and 950.
