Upwards to about 2 months ago, I was *heavily* looking at receivers-as-pre/pros to compete with the 950.

I had basically settled on the H/K's, or maybe the Denon 3803. Also looked at Yamaha, but their stupid fixed 90 Hz crossover turned me off, even though I think they do the best DSP of any major manufacturer.

But still even the Denon only has a global crossover (the brand new H/K's do have the triple crossover), and none of them have analog bass management. So the 950 won for me.

I do have a wish/hope: that Outlaw traded H/K the triple crossover for Logic 7, and that L7 will show up on the 950's big brother, whenever it shall appear.
