This is actually a review for the 917 preamp/tuner/pro logic processor... Tuner pulled in stations very well. Preamp was quieter than ever. Features galor.

Features galor. Pro logic was the worst I've ever heard. Late night listening control was a joke and never worked. The dimensions were a bit large for this type of product. A bit lacking in the mid-range at times.

Again, this is for the 917, not the 911. I believe the only difference is the tuner. Regardless, this unit served me well as a mere preamp and tuner for a good year until I upgraded to the 116, which blows everything else I've listened to at the price ($600 MSRP) away. Back to the 917: This has a good preamp and a great tuner in one package, albeit a bloated one. The other features such as the dolby pro-logic, tone controls, bass eq and late night listening feature don't do the preamp/tuner sections justice. For the $229 I paid (MSPR was $599), it was a steal of a deal.
