Whoa...news flash...KCB has succumbed to the 'MATRIX'. Hey, man, congrats. Tell us more! Is the MC 8 as good as the 950 in SACD/DVD-A? What do you do for BM in those formats? You know, etc., etc.


JMartin: I've been vocal about this...I can't see for the life of me why someone would buy a multi-channel, multi-format preamp/processor for stereo CDs. I never listen to them myself, so I have nothing to add as to the 950's abilities or lack thereof in that format. However, when it comes to SACD/DVD-A MC music, the 950 is simply superb. The built-in analog bass management works great, just plug-n-play. DD, DTS, DD-EX, DTS-ES are also very, very good.

800 bucks, 5 year warranty included, 30 days in-home trial, a great Company to deal with and (a BIG and, for me), this forum...(BTW, welcome!)...where you'll meet some of the coolest people who will bend backwards to help you get the best from your purchase.

The term 'safe bet' comes to mind.

Gonk...you are amazing.
