Summary: Your friends will be jealous
Review: I've had this receiver for 6 months, and it's great. I'm at college, and I was rocking a party with it. The cops even came by and told me to turn it down. If you want plenty of power and more options than you'll ever use for a great price, look no further.

Summary: Diference Between SA-DX950 & SA-DX1050
Review: I've heard SA-DX950 and SA-DX1050 with four SONY SS-MF600H 8 ohms speakears.... there is no diference .... They say that SA-DX1050 has less harmonic distorsion.....NOT TRUE !!!!...... The same sound and the same distorsion..... Both A/V receivers start to get distorsion at -16db with bass +10 and treble +10... The sound is exactly the same.... Both have the same power of the bass ..... I don't know why it says that SA-DX1050 has 20hz- 40khz ... I think it's the same for the both of them 40hz - 40Khz... Now i have SA-DX1050, i payed more money for the S-VIDEO input or output ....not for the power, 'cause it's the same...... So if don't need the S-VIDEO input or output .... Don't buy the SA-DX1050 .... get SA-DX950 for less money.... so you can save some money....

Summary: Great Product
Review: My wife just bought this receiver for me for Christmas (2001), and while it does not have an s-video input or output, it still has pleanty of features, delivers great audio with lots of flexability for mulitple configurations. It delivers a smooth low frequency so it gives you that great presence we all love out of our subwoofers without distortion. The remote is very user friendly. For the price point it is a great buy, i love it!!!

Summary: Good enough but not hi-fi
Review: Remember that you get what you pay for. The SADX-950 is a good value, but is defenitly not an hi-fi system. The SADX-1050 will produce less harmonic distortion. On the other hand, if you do not plan to invest too much for the speakers (e.g. less than 250$ for the audio front pair), then this system should fit your needs. Note: requires an amplified subwoofer (not a passive one).

Summary: Not a bad Receiver
Review: This receiver is pretty good for the price. I also own the sa-dx940 and sa-dx1040 They are all great and I have never had a problem out of any of them. The 940 and 1040 were known for producing alot of heat, but that seems to have been fixed in the 950. The sound is pretty good. You must however pay close attention to the specs. The 100x5 wattage rating is @ 6 ohms not 8 ohms. This means that you actually only probably get about 80x5 when running 8 ohm speakers. Never the less, sound quality is good. The remote control could be better designed, but serves it's purpose. Overall, it's worth the money.
