Thanks, Gonk and Rene. I'm really looking forward to trying out all the combinations of equipment. Now to decide which CDs and DVDs to use.

FYI, the Outlaw folks (as most folks in the Hideout have assumed) have said that the 2200 is basically a rebadged m200 with minor tweaks and the addition of a balanced input. I didn't get the impression that the addition of the balanced input was a big deal, almost like everything was set up in the m200 for balanced input. I don't know what that means for current m200 owners, however this is a 990 post so...

I have read the 990 manual and everything looks pretty straight forward regarding the setup. My current receiver does not have an auto setup (or OSD for that matter) so I'll give the 990's auto setup a shot to see how close it is to using a SPL meter and a tape measure.

Do any of the current 990 owners have some setup suggestions that are unique or special?
