First - apologies for being 'off topic' - but:

1. I don't see any place where this post would be directly 'on topic'
2. This section has the latest posts

I have seen the latest newsletter and two products are mentioned as if everything was known about them - and everyone knew about them:

The 790 and 1070.

Where are these products announced, described and/or discussed? I have searched everywhere (?) in 'products' - 'news' - etc.

Any help on this?

Excerpted from the Outlaw news letter of 28 May 2004:

... The software design for the two receivers and the hardware topology and component selection for all three new products were created and specified by the Outlaws. The actual systems design and integration is being done by engineers and consultants under our direct supervision. These are TOTALLY NEW platforms that will NOT be available from any other brand or through any other distribution channel. Finally, as you can see from the photos on some of the forums, the industrial design is also all new, and like the systems design it is ours, and ours ALONE.

Please remember that all of the products previewed during the Home Entertainment Show are scheduled for production towards the end of the year, and at this point we have not announced any firm delivery dates or final pricing.

The RR 2150 Receiver was on display in close to final form, as promised in the recent Newsletter. This will likely be the very first of the new products to arrive, and thanks to its combination of contemporary electronics and stunning “retro” industrial design; it will be a must-have for all serious music lovers.

Expanding our amplifier offerings, the Model 790 Power Amplifier will capitalize on unique and innovative circuit topology to deliver 300 watts per channel with all seven channels driven. Designed for those who want the ultimate in power and performance, the Model 790 will also feature balanced inputs.

Also as noted in the Newsletter, we will have both DVI-D to DVI-D and DVI-D to HDMI cables available by Labor Day.

Finally, the Newsletter’s hint that our big announcement is related to the DVI cables was the first preview of our Model 1070 Receiver. Scheduled to ship before the end of the year, it will offer all the latest surround modes (including Dolby ProLogic IIx, Dolby Virtual Surround and Dolby Headphone).

Among it’s many features will be:
High quality video cross-conversion so that only one component video connection is needed between the Model 1070 and your video display
RS-232 connectivity for bi-directional control of the receiver by a computer or keypad system as well as full upgrade capability for both the software library and the unit’s operating system
A total of eight digital inputs (four coax/four optical)
Three assignable, high-bandwidth component video inputs
A 7 x 65 watt amplifier with the power and performance made famous by our first receiver, the legendary Model 1050
AND FINALLY, in keeping with the Model 1050’s tradition of firsts, the Model 1070 will include a two input DVI switcher for your HDTV and high-resolution video input sources: The first affordable receiver with such circuitry

As announced at the show the price of the receiver is expected to be “under $1000”. Of course, the exact price and how much “under $1,000” will be determined as we get a bit closer to production at the end of the year ...

Checkout this thread over in the Outlaw-to-Outlaw section. There are links to pictures and discussion about these products based on what was seen and discussed with The Outlaw's in May at the NYC HE Show.

Thanks info

I just wonder why there really is no part of the site for these products - after all - they are supposed to be on the market in a matter of a month or two.

The Outlaws tradtionally haven't posted new products to their web site until they're at least in final testing, sometimes not until they're ready to actually start taking orders. I suspect we'll get some new info in early-mid November during the West Coast HE show.
