I agree, that's why I have the 950 and not the B&K Ref 50 (at about $2250 street).

You obviously do get more features and "tweakability" at the higher price (THX Ultra2 for one), but in terms of raw sound quality, like I said, I don't think there are big differences.

I partook in a listening test between a red dot (equiv) 950 and the Anthem. I couldn't hear any difference at all. (Might have been limited by the speakers in that particular case, but the data point "stuck" with me.)
