Info about the 990 and How it will sound w/Klipsch Reference series speakers - 06/17/05 12:17 PM
Gentlemen,
I'm a first time poster, long time reader. I've decided to pawn my Denon 3803 receiver and take the plunge into the world of separates. Outlaw appears to be the best choice for me. I was ready to pull the trigger on the 950 and the announcement of the 990 came out. I continued doing my homework on other brands(Anthem, used Proceeds, Rotel and the likes)I loved the classy looks of Rotel gear, but was a little disappointed when I was able to do a side by side comparison between a Rotel 1068+1075 amp and a Denon 3805. The Rotel gear sounded really good, but surprisingly, the Denon held it's own. I've also dilligently followed all the posts and info on the Outlaw 990. While it may not be as pretty as a Rotel, I suspect when it comes to what matters most - the sound and value for great sound, the Outlaw would whip it.
So, I got on the 990 waiting list 7-June; I'm sure it will be a while before my turn arrives. When it does, I will be teaming the 990 with an Outlaw 755 amp.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone been able to compare a 990 to Rotel gear yet? I think I read the old 950 was considered sonically superior.
2. Is anyone using the 990/755 or similar combo with Klipsch reference series setups?
Thanks in advance to any advice I get.
