Hello Apple,
I've had a 1050 for about 3 months now while waiting for the 950. I highly recommend going this route. Yes, I expect to take a loss, but I've gotten great use and enjoyment from the unit. I enjoy it so much that I'm considering keeping it as a secondary unit if I can swing the financing when my 950 is ready. It's a quality piece of gear and only makes me anticipate the 950 more. BTW, I'm running the 1050 with external amps and using the 1050 to power my center channel. It works great, but I'll have to buy yet another amp when the 950 gets here. Probably why I'll have to sell the 1050. Good Luck.
