Jason,

Read the About Outlaw page on thier site. This isn't anything new, nor anything they've tried to keep hidden.

Pat, I had read the About information. I thought it was great that these people decided to start a company to manufacture and distribute audio equipment directly to consumers. It is part of the reason I want to buy a 950 from them. However, nowhere does it say who the principals are and that they are still devoted to their real jobs. So, how can you say "This isn't anything new, nor anything they've tried to keep hidden?" If I missed something, please let me know. Did you know Peter Tribeman was one of one of the principals before this week? Who are the other principals and what are their real jobs?

You know what is also interesting is that 6 channel amp that AT has, 125 wpc. Is that an Outlaw design? At a list price of $1299, it might be a good 6 channel amp for the 1050's or the people who get 950's and want to save money.

I was a bit surprised about the 'day job' thing myself. I never fully researched it, I just skimmed over the stuff on the site before placing my first order. I always had the impression they were guys who were fed up and decided to start their own deal. Guess I was wrong. It doesn't change *too* much, though.

One thing I noticed under the link to the P-200 price, was the mention of an A-2000, a 6 channelx125w amp.

"Beneath the P-2000 is the A-2000 6-channel power amplifier. (Get it? A="Amplifier", and P="Processor". Pretty clever, no?) This is a 125 watts × 6 amplifier. It's expected to ship in the first quarter of 2002 priced at $1,299.00. Anyone spot a connection to an Outlaw? [JHG]"

I thought the 750 was 5x165w and the 770 will be 7x200w. Either the facts are a bit wrong, AT is using somebody else’s amp or there seems to be a modified version of something that Outlaw themselves aren't selling. Curious.

Any thoughts on the mystery amp?

S.

You don't see too many six channel amplifiers out there. Most 7.1 pre/pros are mono in the rears, but most people do use two speakers back there. Curious.

I think the Outlaw products has more in style with the NAD components, giving the green power button and the "kind of dorky" styling of both brands. It must be the M.I.T. connection of both brands.

One huge Outlaw/NAD connection is that Peter Tribeman was president of NAD from 1980-89.

You just give away their secret "Prestigious High End Audio Mfg" background.

Here's more from the Outlaw press conference at CES (I am the author of the SMR Group report mentioned elsewhere). Peter Tribeman stated that the relationship with their OEM (Eastech) is such that Outlaw designs the product and Eastech builds it, but the designs are not exclusive, so Eastech can manufacture them for others. I guess the benefit to Outlaw from this deal is that they get a cheaper price for their product which they can pass on to their customers.

From what we could tell at CES the Outlaw and Atlantic processors are identical in all but exterior cosmetics.
