For sale is my first major step into the world of audio. I would still keep and use this if my priority was home theater. But I've changed direction and gone towards 2-channel audio.
This 1050 was a major help along the way. First I used it for Dolby 5.1 surround preamp and amplification purposes. Then I used it as a preamp for many, many months after I invested in my first nice amplifier. It's been great to have the options of powering speakers directly or passing the signal along to another amp. You can even mix and match. The 1050 was powering my center and rear channels, while I used another amp for the front 2 channels' audio.
Also sounds great for 2 channel audio, as a pre or using the pre and the onboard amplification. Used as a 2 channel pre, it bettered the soundstage for voices of preamps such as the Audio Alchemy DLC and the Adcom GFP-750. You could really pinpoint where a voice was located in the soundstage. Incredible.
OK, I'm getting a little sentimental here, and think I need to stop rambling. I'll leave with a couple of links to reviews:

Or let this be your foundation as you slowly build your system up, piece by piece, giving you more money for your investment in speakers before turning to amp and preamp connundrums.
