Ooh, don't assume any sort of inside track on my part here. I'm guessing on this one just like the rest of us. And from what I hear about the MC-8, if you find one that you and your pocket book can agree on, it would probably be worthwhile to get one.

Have a Loudness button - to increase the high treble and low bass at low to medium listening levels. My last 2 processors / receivers had it, and when listening to CDs through the Home Theatre it makes a favorable improvement.

I agree with the idea of a "loudness" button....Yamaha had a unique "continuously variable loudness compensation" on their old Pre-Amps (I have the CX-2, a great Pre Amp I am using just as a Phono Pre Amp now with my 950)...best loudness type control I have ever used.......It would work just fine on an Outlaw Pre Amp......

When I mentioned the "loudness" button on the Outlaw to Outlaw thread I had no idea it was going to show up on so many other threads. I agree, put the loudness button or variable dial in the big brother.

Just stopped by to visit and thought I would check out this post to see if anyone was talking about the Outlaw "BIG BROTHER" 950+ release dates. I really didnt think I would find anything but needed to check anyway. Just came across an MC-8 Used, $3600 on Ebay,good value. The 950 has been such a bargain and quality value for me that I just keep my fingers crossed Outlaw will come out with a top of the line replacement for about the same price as a good used Lexicon. Well that what I hope will happen. DOBEMAN

this is probably mentioned above, but i think outlaw would benefit from getting some thx certification on its product. being internet only i think it would make people more comfortable. i realize it would probably add a little cost and does not mean one product is better than another, but it would give a new buyer some more confidence....

Yes! You are right Curegeorg, - It should have THX Certification. That would have to be a given for any second generation 950+ Since most everyone would expect the latest upgrades and best audio produce for the money, something like THX Certification would have to be standard issue.

In regards to THX certification, as far as its desireability is concerned, it depends on how much extra THX certification would end up raising the price to the purchaser.

If the cost increment is small (<$50), then THX certification is fine, otherwise, I'm not much interested.

Outlaw could make the 950's big brother meet whatever THX specs they wanted and advertise it as such and just skip the certification process (and not get the pretty THX certified logo on the front panel) and I would not mind.

Or they could make the new model significantly exceed THX specs and say "beyond THX!".

Nah, the THX logo is cool and all but I believe it is very expensive to license. If I could get $50 dollars off my next purchase I would probably take the discount. It didn't slow me down from purchasing the 950 in the first place.
