Good link, MrSandman. I tend to agree about the absence of DPL2 on the 1050. DPL2 may be really nice, but for the price the 1050 is hard to beat. It can be an effective way to build up to bigger things if you want to eventually have a high-end separates system but don't have the cash to drop on everything at once. As for music, the 1050 sounds nice enough just on two speakers that I'm quite content.
