So who's guessing what? First one has got to be an amp. Wonder what it'll have. Could balanced lines be an option? :drool: I have no idea how much power or how many channels. It's specs have got to be through the roof for them to say it like that.

DVI cables? Don't you need a DVI connection? Could the other big item be a new, highly anticipated pre-pro? I think they would have worded the hint differently if it was a receiver, could be wrong though.

I was thinking the same about the first item: amp. Maybe a two-channel amp?

The DVI-D cable is intriguing -- I just tracked down one for my new TV, and there aren't many reasonably-priced ones available. There are a slew of absurdly overpriced ones, but only a few sanely priced.

The real big tease is clearly the last one. Very curious. Whatever gunslingers happen to make it past the show should drop into the forum and let us know what they find out, maybe even grab a couple pictures.

The DVI cable is what had me thinking Pre/Pro. The letter says item 3 is related to 1 & 2. I don't know if they'd put a connection like that on a receiver unless they are following the market trend of the mainstream brands. And that would most likely be a pretty high end receiver if the went that route. It just seems more fitting to a pre/pro following Outlaw's tradition of value. Unless that connection is a LOT cheaper than we have been led to believe. How is the availability of DVI now compared to say a year ago?

As for the (supposed) amp, I imagine that they tried to do something with the size and weight at least. That seemed to be a pretty universal critique of their other big ones. Two-channel? Maybe. I really don't know where to go, except to grab a towel and wipe up the drool.

I think the first item is going to be a new receiver. Especially since they have discontinued the 1050.

I was thinking that the other one that is due out by the end of the year may be a dvd player. Who knows. If it is, I suspect it will be of the same quality as the rest of thier products. Which of course, is VERY good and affordable.

They did say you would get a chance to hear a full Outlaw system. So my guess would be speakers...............now that would be sweeeeet

I'm in the receiver camp. Its the one thing missing from their line up right now. Although I am sure I will be happy with whatever it is, but heres wishing for a dvd player or the next pre/pro.

My guess is product #3 is going to be some kind of video switch. It would be cool if it interfaced with Outlaw's pre/pro or reciever so you could upgrade just the video switching/conversion without having to upgrade your whole system. They could make one that was component only, DVI only, or one with a mixture of imputs.

I think it's a given that a replacement for the 1050 is near. It will be interesting what it will be and when can we get it! Just a wag but I'm guessing it will have DVI or HDMI switching. I'm basing this on the new video cables they are selling. Or at the least the new product is some sort of video switching device. Why sell DVI or HDMI cables if none of your products use it? I hope the Outlaws provide plenty of info at the NY show. I have had the 1050 since it first came out. I'm looking at the Panny SR-XA70 but I'm more than happy to wait and see what the new receiver will offer.

From information rationed to me, I would say the first item has to be a receiver. 7.1 channel with a very rich feature set to set it apart from the competition(like the 1050 did). Cost would be similar to the original price of the 1050, slightly higher of course, but not to infringe on their seperates pricing.

IIRC, this (the 750) was Outlaw's first product, not the 1050.
