Sam- If that's your *only* reason, I would implore you to take advantage of the 30 day trial.

Shoot, even the Lexicon MC-8 doesn't have that feature, but I was happy enough with the 950 when I had it, and liked the 7.1 CES modes so much I moved to the MC-8 with Logic 7.

To be honest, I wish both units had customizeable inputs in that I'd set 2 ch CD sound for example to be full range mains, no sub, but still use the sub with a crossover for movie content.

But. The 950 is still the only solution for an all in one box with analog bass management for SACD/DVD-A. Even so many years after it's debut, I think think it's still an incredible value.
