Well I pulled the trigger and ordered a 970 and a 3 stack of rca cables to go along with my new(used) model 755 amplifier. I have been very happy so far with the performance of the 755. I was wondering is there any difference between the 755 and the 7500 besides the balanced inputs?
Anyway I sure hope the 970 and the 755 are as enjoyable as when I first purchased the 1050.
