I've been waiting to see if Outlaw would be updating the 1050 to include such features as DTS-ES, DPLII, DD-EX, and maybe a little more power for the past 6 months hoping that each new product would be an updated version. Well, it hasn't happened and in the meantime, every other manufacturer has caught up and gone by. I was just surfing the net at the likes of Marantz 7200, Denon 2802, and Onkyo TXSR 700 when I ran into an incredible deal. $632 including shipping from an authorized dealer for a TXSR 700!?! More power, more features, all from a respected company worldwide. I guess I'll be ordering one next week. I've always liked the Onkyo sound and have never heard the Outlaw. I'm sure it's nice, and I'd like to go with the little guy, but this is such a good deal and is everything I am looking for.
