Yes,Yes,Yes!!! Again; a big thanks! I just used a couple of Hosa RCA to XLR 1M cables coming out of my trusty 1050 pre-outs(L&R Main) to my brand new(to me) Crown XLS602D, and WOW! I can't wait to run XLR to XLR from the 990 to this amp! I can't believe that a receiver I bought in 2002 has a 2-ch pre-out that still sounds so great! Not to mention how great my movies sound... Boy, am I saving even harder for that 990 now! It's a comfort to know that I can easily balance all of the multi-ch levels, no matter whether RCA or XLR inputs are used. After that, it's an Outlaw for the other five channels, for sure(right now, I'll just use my wonderful 1050's speaker outs). Thanks Again, Jeff.
