Hey everyone,

Just a quick note to say, I took the plunge! I ordered my 1050 this afternoon (not before noon EDT unfortunately ). I debated this decision in my mind for about a week though. The main competition was a refurbbed HK 320 for basically the same price. In the end, customer service won me over. I've read a lot about how good the CS is here, particularly with regards to the 950 issues tha have cropped up lately. I'm buying this because the Pioneer "Elite" I receiver I have died 2 months out of warranty as a result of a well documented design defect. I was SOL since I bought from an unauthorized online dealer so I figured I wouldn't make that mistake again.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to spending much time this weekend tinkering with my new toy!

Welcome aboard! The 1050 is definitely a nice piece of equipment. Have fun tinkering this weekend, and let us know if you have questions.

Welcome to the outlaw family!
I have had my 1050 for about two weeks and I could not be happier with it. I am still tinkering around with it. I believe you made the right choice.

Edit: Oops! That's what I get for typing with one hand while having multiple distractions in the room... should read 1050, not 1505.

You made a wise choice. I've had mine since February and am very pleased with it.
Good Luck!

I think you are going to be very happy with the 1050. I was able to watch my first movie in DTS yesterday? WOW! It wont take you long to realize you got a big bang for your buck

OK, now I have to go through that unbearable period where I wait for the goods to arrive! Hopefully tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for the encouraging words. I'll report back after a few days of use!

Sorry Matt. Should of said "for the 1050"!

Phone call received at 9:48 am:

"Uhh, Larry, this is Dan in the mail room. We just got a package delivered here for you form DHL....uhh, its pretty heavy....can we get you to come down and pick it up??"

Woohooo! I believe I'll be sneaking out for a long lunch today :-D More to follow.....

Woohoo! Tustin CA! That's my hood too. Hope you like your 1050. I've been eyeing that one myself pardner. Tell us how you like it. Btw what kind of speaker system are you using?

The Tustin lifestyle seems to be agreeable to my new 1050 Have had it now for 2 weeks and would have to say it's been a great purchase. I'm particularly happy with how the few programs that are broadcast in DD 5.1 over DirecTV have sounded. Right now I'm running NHT's all around: Superones with a Supercenter across the front and Superzeroes in back along with a 10" JBL powered sub sittin' in the corner of the room. I'm a happy camper right now! With a 30 day money back guarantee, its pretty hard to say no.
