First, thanks to Sandman for the link! Everything I had read only talked about PLII in relation to movies, nothing about music.

Now as for billmlevine's query. I apologize for the short posting I left. Perhaps had I been more eloquent then, you would better understand my position.

Yes, I do own a 1050 and I do love it. I'm very pleased and won't be needing to upgrade anytime soon. The reason I own a 1050 is because it was in my budget. I didn't (and still don't) have the funds available for separates, although I would prefer them. While I'm at it, I'd also prefer a set of VR975's to add on to my Bostons and convert my current front surrounds to rears for a nice 7.1 setup, but that's another story.

What I was trying to say, is that if you're planning on buying from Outlaw, have the patience of a stone (just funnin ya Outlaws! I'd rather a good product late than a shoddy one on time!), and your budget allows it, I think the 950/770 combo is the way to go. But if you want instant gratification, and aren't worried about separates, DPL II, or the host of other features the 950 offers (like multiple crossover freqs), then the 1050 should more than fit the bill. I don't think I've run in to anyone yet, here or in the real world, that isn't happy with their 1050.

Like I said, if I had not replied in such haste last time (was working on being late for my night class!) I think my position would have been a little clearer. Sorry for the confusion!

Also, and someone correct me if I'm wrong on this one, I believe that PLII has been in effect in the theaters since it was first used on Phantom Menace. Anybody who saw that in a "good" theater (like the Cinerama here in Seattle) knows that PLII is more than just a gimmick. In the event I'm mistaken about the use of DPLII on Episode 1, I'll apologize now and say in defense, they did a hell of a mixing job on that! One of the main reasons I kept going back for "just one more" viewing was the fantastic sound!

Oh, by the way billmlevine, yes, I am a he! lol...

Thanks for reading, folks!
