Sweet.

I look forward to the pics. If you need a place to host them, I can offer some space.

DVI switching? That's certainly a new twist. I'll be curious to see if it is showing up elsewhere in the market by year's end -- if the 1070 isn't the first available with it, it will be very close to it. Good year to add it, since DVI is starting to show up on DVD players and cable/satellite boxes in some decent numbers. Any info on the seven-channel amp (since it would be the third in their line-up, assuming the 770 and 7100 are staying in production)?

It seems that they will be one of the first with the dvi switching. Unfortunately I don't have a single item with a dvi output and probably won't for several years. I wonder if it will upconvert s-video and composite to component also. That would be more useful to me.

when was the 1050 discontinued?

They sold the last units of the 1050's final production run last fall some time.

Sounds great. I love the idea of DVI switching. Now the waiting game begins...

One question is the 2150 scheduled to be released at the end of the year also?

oh, so only one year between the two models. i guess that is not so bad. strange to discontinue a model without a replacement for it though. the sales must have just totally trailed off (availability of the 950 i guess). maybe this is why you see some companies not making pre/pros and receivers. outlaw has both, but seems to be cycling receiver and then pre/pro as to not hurt the others sales, but still give a newer highly anticipated product. at the prices that they sell their stuff, it is hard not to get seperates when you can do so for less than a lot of top receivers.

7 channel amp? well they have the 7*100 and 7*200 what will this be a monster 7*300-500.

The 1070...if the price is near $1,000 will it be able to compete with the others in its price range?
All these receivers with auto calibration and people swear by it.....

time will only tell now where are the pictures?

I have to admit I didn't pay enough attention to the 7 channel amp. I work 1 block from the show so I was dropping by during lunch. They said the RR-2150 would be out late in the year but not specific. They were more specific that the 1070 would not be ready until the very end of the year as in Dec 31 midnight. No mention of price other than under 1K.

Thanks for the hosting offer Gonk. I have a site I just need to get home (8pm EST) and unload them from my camera. I am guessing someone else will post before I can. I have very low res shots anyway take with a Sony Clie. I have one 2mp shot of the back of the 1070 which may come out OK.

Thanks for the info Desperado. I love having something to look forward to.

I wonder if the new 7 channel amp is just an updated design or if they decided to do something like 150 watts. If they are doing more than 200, hold on to your cowboy hats Outlaws.
