After months of thinking, i think will be buying the 1050. I've waited for a couple months hoping that there will be news from outlaw that the 1050 will be updated soon but no, Outlaw seems to have no intentions of doing that. I have waited too long and i just can't take it anymore ...so a month from know i will be ordering my 1050 right after i have upgraded my speakers. I sure hope that it will live up to the expectations...the 1050 better be good (sound good) just like what you guys are saying ... I do hope that Outlaw will not announce a new receiver months after i have gotten the 1050.
