How difficult is it to tell us approximately when we can expect our 950. This is almost getting rediculous. Also can we get more reviews on the sonics of the 950 from those fortunant few that have them.

Jmac, I feel your pain. I waited over a year for it but let me tell you it was worth it. I would imagine the emails should be coming soon but you never know. As far as more reviews I wish more people would post as well. After owning my 950 for nine days now, I can say that it has some quirks but it is by far the best sounding processor I have ever heard, so as you can tell I have never heard Krell, Levison or any of the big boys. I would agree that the sound is extremely analytical, as other posters have noted. Just out of curiousity, when did you get on the list?

I placed my resevation on 1/26/02. I am currently stuck with a Carver CT 17 pro logic. I wonder will the 950 sound better musically. Also does the 950 sound better than the Anthem AVM-2. Thanks in advance for all replys.

Jmac and Jed M,
I just recently posted a review of the 950 on the unofficial review thread. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the review mdanderson. It was greatly appreciated. Any new info is helpfull. I hate to admit that I share in Jmac's frustration. But we shouldn't dispare as the Outlaw's said that within two weeks they would give us an approximate shipping schedule based upon when we placed our order and tomorrow night will be two weeks. I'm confident that they will make good on that promise or give us some new information around that time.

It would probably be helpful if others would post here with their concerns so that the Outlaws would know that it's not just one or two of us who are awaiting new info.

Jeff,

Don't know how long you have been watching this forum, but if Outlaw gives a date, add 3 weeks. They have yet to meet a deadline since I have been watching this forum, December 2001. So don't bet the farm you will hear anything by tomorrow. Also, three weeks ago they said it would be two weeks. Check out the unofficial 950 arrival thread.

They also promised in the April newsletter "30 to 60 days before everyone gets their unit." Well it has been 30 days already. Anyone here actually believe that all the pre orders will be filled in 30 more days?

Scott? Anyone at Outlaw want to comment? Maybe RAF or merc has some insight.

So yes, I have been frustrated for a while. The 49TX looks better and better every day we don't hear from the Outlaws...

I am glad however that all of the early reservationist have their units and are happy with the sonic quality.

Mark

Mark,

I am aware of the promises you mention. I have been waiting quite a while without a decent pre/pro for the 950 to be available to us all. But I'm sure Outlaws knows that some of us have put off our buying decisions in order to support them and to get the best sound possible for our dollar. So I'm confident that we will hear soon as to when we can expect our units. Not to inform us would be a violation of our tacit agreement with them to put off our individual buying decisions and to wait for their product.

The more of us that post on this thread the better. It might show Outlaw that although we support and believe in them, we need to be informed as to where we stand in the process.

Jeff

I noticed that they are now at least to 1/4/02 on the waiting list. Hang in if you can. md, I saw your review and I agree with what you have said. I have not been able to check out the 6.1 or 7.1 yet so I can't comment on that. Jmac, I do not know what your Carver sounds like, and this is no knock on what you have, but it would be hard to imagine that the 950 could not sound better for music. As far as the Anthem, I have never heard that either but I would think you would be more than happy with that.

I have had the 950 set up for 1 day now. My previous pre/pro was a Carver CT28v and the 950 sounds better to me. Have not had the time yet to put the 950 through a thourogh review. Also, my guess is that Outlaw is getting throug the list quickly. I was number 1322 12-19

I currently trust the Outlaws to keep a promise about as far as I can throw a 770 , but I'll add my post to the thread. I certainly hope to hear something this weekend about the estimated schedule.
