I have owned the 950/7100 combo since July of 2003 and have never even considered sending back this equipment. This was by far the best audio investment that I have ever made. I have owned equipment from Adcom, Denon and Sony ES and have listened in detail to Anthem, Lexicon, Parasound, Rotel and B&K. Is the Outlaw better than Adcom, Denon and Sony ES, absolutely. Is it better than Rotel and B&K, it is close, but for the money yes. Lexicon, Anthem and Parasound are superior products, but $3,000.00 to $8,000.00 superior, no way!!! This is as close to true High-End Theatre sound without taking out a mortgage on your home to pay for it. The only notable fault I have ever found is the late 80's/early 90's NAD/Proton styling? If it saves me a few thousand bucks, so be it! Buy an Outlaw system, you will not be disappointed in the least.
