I have been looking at buying a receiver for a while now. For some reason, I never quite found what I was looking for. Either the receivers having the features I wanted were too expensive or those I could buy sounded awful or didn't have what I was looking for.

Then I remembered about Outlaw Audio. I signed in on this forum just in time to get a copy of Soundhound's organ CDs. Then I heard about the new stuff the Outlaws would show at the HE Expo in New York. Unless the published specs for the 1070 are way off or the price is way over a grand, that's what I'm gonna get when it becomes available.

I never intended to spend that much money on a receiver because I always felt that an important part of the price went to the middle man. Living in Canada, I can also attest that the price of receivers here are at least 25-30% higher than in the USA even after factoring in the exchange rate !!! Since buying from the USA was out of the question because the US warranties are not valid in Canada, that would have left me with an over priced receiver.

Having read a whole bunch of posts about Outlaw products in this forum, I now know that this is a good and trusty company. I've never been so eager to see the end of a year. :-)

I can't wait to see the published specs and then order this baby. Boy oh boy, it's gonna be a long 6 months.

Just got home from NYC (went down yesterday morning, got home this evening). Here are some pictures from the Outlaw Audio demo room .

I'm tired. Will answer questions tomorrow.

Is the 1070 blue?

In this picture from Gonk it looks blue: http://www.prillaman.net/outlaw_he2004/model1070-front.jpg

But in this picture from Pat it looks black: http://www.sklenar.info/images/outlaw/m_PICT0631.jpg

Lasher,

Nope, I didn't see a two channel amp. Sorry.


Will,

The 1070 is matte black, just like all of the non-"RR" units.

With regards to the color, don't forget we are looking at protype models, not the final production piece.

Color's hard to judge since lighting is going to have a big effect (speaking as the son of a metalsmith with a bachelor's in photography). The color on pat's pics looks to be more accurate.

The front inputs on the 1070 are interesting - I thought that's what I was seeing on desperado's pics. Dolby Headphone, Pro Logic IIx, DTS-ES, DTS-96/24 are all listed... Pretty comprehensive collection.

the new amp is 300watts per channel and has 2 plugs which need a dedicated 15 amp line each

i'm not sure about the plugs and switches, but when i asked if it (the 790) would work on a single dedicated 20A outlet, the answer was yes.

Thanks for the new pics Pat. They really bring out the colors. The sculptured look of the RR2150 is really artistic. I don't know if it would match my decor, but I give them a lot of credit for doing something outside the box. The 1070 looks improved too. I thought the buttons may have been green from the first pics. That is something I could easily blend into my home.

Regardless of what the rack's specifications are, would anybody else besides me be extremely apprehensive about double stacking two amps on their top shelf? Makes me nervous just looking at it, but I did gain a new level of respect for their racks.
