Very interesting! I saw this coming for some time when the Atlantic unit appearing on the scene.So what to do? Wait for more competing units to appear! Of course, they will , most likely, be priced in that $1699 range since they have more expensive overhead than Outlaw. I, too, am on the waiting list/early FEB. But, with all these problems I am a little hesitate and leaning stongly to the Rotel 1066, although I REALLY want the Anthem or Sunfire. So, like many others I am setting tight. GREAT ARTICLE! HEADS UP!!
