With all the excitement regarding the 990 I am really looking forward to the New York show. Anyone who's in the area have any idea when they might be heading in?

It would be pretty cool (at least for me) to actually meet some of you "local" guys. Last years show with the LFM and the new product "peeks" was my greatest reason for going.
This Outlaw thing is sort of cult like and I'm in no way apologizing for that. I really like this company, its customer service and its PRODUCT
And IMHO it is one of the most enjoyable forums going.
Let us know here if there is a particular time/day you're thinking of.

arica9,

A friend and I (he's posted here a few times under "waynedunham") will be taking a train down from Hartford friday morning and another one home saturday afternoon/evening. We're going to stay in the show hotel (NYC Hilton) friday night.

pat----

pat,
you will of course be taking your camera?

painttoad,

I'm going to see if my schedule allows for an "all day-er" on Saturday. Some of the seminars look to be pretty interesting and in between those, a good bit-o-wandering around the halls. Once I get the times firmed up I'll post here.

Well, last year we had this thread to keep us entertained with information coming out of the HE show. Maybe this year attendees will drop in here and offer some feedback. I'm sure Pat will have pictures for us, although they'll have to wait until he gets home and can upload them.

And to start things off, I just came across an article from UltimateAV with a bit of Outlaw news (along with a picture of a Model 990 sitting in an equipment rack) . Here's the full text regarding Outlaw gear - most of it is old news to us around here, but note the interesting second paragraph:

The article can be found here .

Yes the LFM-2 was at the show the LFM-1's little brother. It is the big/little secret. Like the LFM-1, it was co-designed with HSU.

LFM-2:
*8" long throw design
*-2db at 28Hz
*150 watts rms
*Ready to ship

Model 1070:
*It was in the room.
*The hardware is production ready.
*The software is 2-3 weeks away (it is being debugged)
*Next product out of the gate
Model 2150:
*True working sample in the room
*Beta testing begins in 2 weeks
*While it was delayed, they decided to up the amps to 2x90w into 8ohms and 2x140W into 4ohms
*Built in electronic crossover bass management so you can use a sub.
*I'm pretty sure they said that it would be available this year.

Model 950:
*Sold out
*Is no more

Model 990:
*Peter said it was 3 or 4 decibles, or decible points quieter than the 950. I didn't catch this exactly.
*It has a Cirus 49400 chip

I sat in the middle just even with the surround speakers, and the demo was incredible. In a 10,000 ft3 room with $13,000 speakers, it was hard to compare it to what I know. I do know that I still am very satisfied with my 950. And I consider it a compliment to the Outlaws that I have no intention of upgrading it any time soon.

Model 790
*Not in the room
*Peter said they were working on making it a little smaller than it is. And the prototype was already smaller than the 770. Interestingly, the 990 is as big if not a bit bigger than the 770. So it certainly be bigger than the 790.
*Seems to be furthest away from delivery.

I spoke with Scott and asked him about a universal disc player. With the rapidly changing formats. HD-DVD, Blu-ray and possible demise of multi-channel audio formats, he thought they'd have trouble getting a product to market before it was obsolete.

Pictures to follow.

Cool stuff, Scott! I'm looking forward to your pictures.

A thought just popped into my head - the LFM-2 would make an interesting match with the 2150 and a couple good bookshelf speakers for a two-channel music system.

My thoughts exactly Gonk! Just got a set of Polks, now waiting on the 2150.
