Gonk, I was under the impression that Sherwood was marketing the Receiver and Outlaw the Pre-pro. Don't they have similar feature sets. If so, wouldn't the Sherwood machine essentially be the 997 as a receiver?
Ah, sorry - yes, that is correct. I thought you were suggesting that Outlaw would do a receiver version of the 997, didn't realize you were suggesting the R-972 as an alternative to an Outlaw receiver.

how come no new version 1070?
is it because the 1070 did not sell well?

i would think an updated 1070 would be perfect with hdmi and new dolby codecs.
I didn't say that there isn't going to be a new 1070 - I just said that we haven't heard about one, so we have no details (price, features, etc) and no idea of when one might appear. Getting HDMI v1.3 implemented has been messy for all of the manufacturers, and small shops like Outlaw have been particularly hard-hit. As a result, I would expect it to take some time to get things developed in a manner that they are happy with, and until they are close to being ready I suspect that they will keep it well under wraps.
