Allow me to take this topic a little further....
I do agree that the components, in person, look 100 times better then in any photo. I unwrapped my 200's and was impressed. I like the look of the Outlaw gear, its a rugged, no nonsense look. And while I would like flashier gear, it does appeal to me
Ive always had Pioneer Elite so I guess I'm to blame. Another point I'd like to make...
I believe that Outlaw is catering to a different kind of audiophile. The kind that does their homework on equipment and such. And they rely on that person being content with Outlaws performance, and swaying them with that alone.
So in the end, this tactic (if its what they did) has worked time and time again. I sit here, telling you all that I would love flashier gear, but will I stop buying Outlaw? Hell No
I hate to mention this, but how about offering 2 versions of the same unit? The current look, and a more appealing one? For an obvious price difference ofcourse. I know which one I'd snatch up
Sorry for the rant.
