T- I have a TA-E9000ES and will be checking out a 950 to swap for it.

I would hope there isn't much difference in sound quality, because I'm mostly happy with the Sony in that regard (2.01).

But similarly, I'm doing it for the "new" stuff: 5.1 analog inputs with bass management, DD EX, DTS-ES, DPL II, CES modes, etc.
