Gonk,


Based on your pictures, the 1070 looks blue. But you're saying that's not as accurate as Pat's pictures which shows the 1070 as being, really, black. If so, the wonders of photography never cease to amaze!

Will, trust me that metal can often photograph inaccurately. I've got a picture somewhere of a fine silver plaque that looks green (fitting for this forum ) because of nearby grass. Looking at desperado's pics and Pat's pics, it is clear that the overall color balance in Pat's shots is closer to true.

I'm surprised no one else has made mention of the absence of green power buttons...

I did in NYC & eyes just rolled.

btw, I wrote and asked about the RS232 (believe it or not, I didn't notice that until I was working on the photos last night) and Peter wrote back this morning to say that it IS for upgrade purposes.

Its funny you say that Gonk. After I got done writing my opinion of the 2150 and 1070 in my last post, I wrote that I liked the look of the new amp without the green power button, but then I decided to erase it right before I posted because I didn't want to go down that road again.

I went to the show on Friday and could have spent a lot more time. So much to wander around and see/hear. However as this is the home of Outlaw, I wanted to add only a couple of things to what has already been reported. The feature was the LFM and it completely blew me away (and many others I heard talking through the halls as well). Really an amazing sub and even more so for the price.

The 2150 completely caught my attention (and the part of me that really wants stuff) It is truly something to see. I can assume the sound will be there as well. It stands out in a field of plain vanilla looking components. It would be a great beginning to a seperate 2 channel system. Also, as for the queries about color, I am remebering the non silver details as blue on the 2150.

Finally, there were only three or four rooms that had lines waiting to get inside. No matter when my travels brought me back by the Outlaw room, the line was always there. In a show packed with possible stops, this made me feel great about Outlaw.
As Peter told me when I stopped to say how much I loved the components (he had asked who in the room were owners and three of us all had 950/770), "Tell your friends about us we're only a small company".
Yeah I said but you're growing in all the right ways.

Great company, knowledgable community of Outlaws and a pleasure to be a part of.

Does Peter still run another larger audio company, besides Outlaw?

I don't know but the speakers used in the room were Vifas, not ATs.

I'm 99.99% sure that he is still in charge of Atlantic Technologies as well.

As for the Vifa's ... they're not available in North America at this time. They did sound pretty nice. But as another poster wrote (I think it was on this forum), the real goal of the demo's they were running was to show off the LFM-1.

Pat thanks for posting the pictures of the 1070. It should be an interesting 6 months around here. Anyone know why Outlaw is being hammered in the other forums?

To be honest, damned if I know. Ever since they released the original Model 1050 over four years ago they've tended to attract a very polarized response ...

There are some people who are appalled that a company would cut out the local a/v retailer - During the beta and release of the Model 950, there was at least one rep from a competitor who sold only via the retail channel who was bad mouthing the Outlaws to no end. Of course, he did so under an pseudonym, but he was recognized by the Outlaws.

There are some who, for some unknown reason, have had a personality clash with the Outlaws. There are some who refuse to accept the Outlaws as the designers of their own equipment and believe them to be nothing more than re-badge artists. There are some who have spent a lot more than what Outlaw charges for their equipment who can't accept that someone else could produce a product that sounds as good, or nearly so, for so much less than they paid. etc etc etc.
