Brett: I can feel you resonating right out of your posts. I've had my 989 for a few months now, and still, every time I turn it on and feed it a nice sound source, I fall in lust all over again. And when I feed it a regular source, like TV, and switch into surround stereo mode, I'm happier 'n a pig in sh.. .

When I first hooked up the receiver, I was using the Energy Take 5 series speakers. Then I got a pile of Klipsch, and once again I floated away into a hedonistic land that only toy-men can ever know... . Have fun: I can just guess what you'll be doing for the next few days...! ... Mike
