Hurry up and buy up the rest of these 770's so they get the new amplifier released!

I did my share for yoru Prefect. I just bought one.

What's the new amp?

Similar to the 770, but its faceplate will match the 990 pre/pro, and it will have balanced inputs. Rumor has it that it's a full balanced amplifier design as well.

Similar power handling to the 770 as far as we know, so the 770 is still a great deal.

For the truly power hungry they're also planning to release a 300Wx7 amp some time in the near future.

I talked to Steve maybe about two weeks ago and he gave me the impression that the future was pretty distant for that new 300W amp. When that one does come out though I will be keeping a close eye on the reviews. My Polk LSIs salivate at the thought...

I'm really hoping the future for the new generation 770 is a lot closer. I think we're right near the far end of the "6-8 week" figure we were given back at the beginning of August. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

The 770 and 755 replacements are probably a good deal closer than the 790 (which is the 300Wx7 beast) - the 790 got sent back to the drawing board because of heat management problems with the original design, and the impression I got from earlier in the summer was that the 790 was being basically re-designed from the ground up. The replacements for the 770 and 755 should need less design effort, which coincides with the 6 to 8 week timeframe suggested back in August.

Yeah, I was hoping to order the 770 replacement asap, and also get a combo deal to go along with the 990 I bought. Combo pricing for a 990/770 is 200 off, which I hope they might allow for a short space between the 990 purchase and the availability of the new model (pays for the cables). While looking at the pricing sheet, I noticed that when buying 5 or 7 2200's, there must be a mistake, or they're giving 300 off when buying that many. Quite a deal if not a couple of typos.

With the cost of the 770 going back up, does that mean that it's replacement is stalled?

Perhaps - or perhaps they're getting ready to introduce the replacement. Until we hear something from Outlaw, it's impossible to say for sure.
