AGAssarsson,

For some reason there are always some people out there who, for reasons known only to themselves, are bound and determined that Outlaw Audio is "out to rip them off" or "too good to be true" and that the rest of us are shills for being happy with our purchases. I have no idea why Outlaw seems to attract these sorts of people, but ... {sigh}


Xyzfla, Raider, Mikehdtv & the others concerned about the price,

As Gonk has said, so much more eloquently than I could, give the Outlaws a chance to respond before you castegate them. It doesn't matter when a new product or a price change is announced, there will always be someone who purchased the day before and would have waited or what not. They choose to make their announcement at a heavily attended show, good for them. Heck, have you even called (it's a toll free phone number) or written them about your concerns? Or did you just head for the first public site you could think of and start trying to "rip them a new one"?

The show was on the West coast and most of the Outlaws live on the East. Why not let them get home and reply to your concerns before convicting them?

I guess the society of "instance gratification" and the "they owe me" attitude have once again invaded the forums, eh?

Thats a good value, one wonders why anyone would spend nearly double on the Sherbourn or Atlantic Technology Clones???

I would be very interested to hear from Outlaw regarding recent purchases at the former price(s). My 950B/770 combo was ordered in early May, the order was acknowledged May 5, and shipped a few days after that.

There is not much point either speculating about the Outlaws policy in this situation, or becoming emotionally embroiled in it. I don't think it has ever come up before at Outlaw. We might as well see if there is an official response. (Are you there, Scott?)

Meanwhile I have no ill will toward the Outlaws. When prices were $100 higher, Outlaw gear was still one of the best values going. Of course I could use the $100 on other audio gear if the Outlaws wanted to be nice and offer a partial refund/rebate, or even a set of seven interconnects.

I simply can't believe this discussion is taking place. Damed if they do, damned if they don't! If anybody has an issue with a recently purchased 950, I would simply contact Outlaw and see how they will accommodate the price difference.

Please, get outside. Catch some sun and fresh air. Pet your dog. Kiss your significant other.

err ... I live in southern New England ... what is "sun"?

Don't feel bad, it's drizzling here in "sunny" southern CA now.

If you look at my original post I simply asked when the price changed. I first learned about it from a pic of an Outlaw banner at the Home Theater Show. I haven’t received an answer from the knowledgeable folk in the formum or from Outlaw (I e-mailed them twice). It only matters in that if it happened two weeks ago I could have contacted Outlaw sooner. I’m assuming the change coincided with the start of the show. But what does matter is my 30 trial is over Wednesday this week. So I have a decision to make. Will I keep the combo even though the list price has been dropped and I’m not wowed by it or will I return it and look elsewhere, unfortunately I sold my 1050. Also I would have bought the 7-pack wire deal at $49 whereas I didn’t at $99.95. Can I buy the $49 wire bundle after the fact but before my trial period expires or not? A simple question requiring a simple answer.

Outlaw will decide policy and I, as a customer of 1050, 200’s and now 950/7100, will decide to keep the combo or not. I don’t feel ripped off or cheated in any way. It’s simply a timing issue and a matter of company policy. Once I get my questions answered I’ll make my decision. End of story. Oh, yes, before this current issue came up I had decided to keep the combo, but it was a close decision. I’m a two channel stereo fan and I could have bought a new cartridge for $1,000 and happily lived with my 1050. The 2 channel & HT are different setups.

Prices change. But I was betting that the 1050 would be reduced/replaced soon, certainly before the 950, so I sold mine and bought a 950. So I was wrong. Of course that wasn’t the only factor in my 950-purchase decision but it was one of them.

I am outside, soundhound, with my computer at poolside. Significant other and dog to boot. But … under the lanai at the moment because of the drizzle. Yes, it even rains in the Sunshine State. I’d invite you all to go sailing on the Gulf but who wants to sail in the rain? Bummer!!!

Well, its sunny here in Vegas and like you XYZfla, I am heading out back to the pool to do some reading.

Outlaws, when you get back you can start to paypal me at jmcchesney@cox.net whenever you like; 24/7. No amount is considered too large or too small. All I ask is if you do over 10 transactions a day, please leave the cut for paypal also. Thanks.

Guys,

I just remembered what the Outlaws did when the 1050 receiver was reduced from 599 to 499, they offered a $100 rebate to all that had ordered the receiver within a 30 day window. There is no reason to think they would do otherwise with the 950 and its $100 price drop.

Keep the faith, and wait fro the Sherriff and the rest of the gang to return to ranch ?? (or is it the Saloon? Jail?).
