And relative to curegeorg's original comment about Outlaw "having the balls" to provide an online forum where people might complain, I'd say it's really just an indicator of their confidence in the quality of their stuff.
I mean, where else could you buy a $400 receiver like the 1050 that you could sell 18 months later (after being discontinued)for the same amount? If they can create an inexpensive reciever with that kind of staying power, why worry about their pre/pro at twice the price?
