I believe that Dobeman is referring to a hypothetical -- an Outlaw-built pre/pro that takes the 950 and refines it, adds features, ...

There is almost certainly a "big brother" to the 950 on the drawing board; in a newsletter shortly before the first 950's shipped (early 2002) Outlaw confirmed that at that time they still intended to produce a higher-end pre/pro to follow in the 950's footsteps, although they have not said anything more about it since. Based on the design time required for a home theater pre/pro with the features and performance inherent in a "big brother" to the 950 and Outlaw's policy of keeping things quiet on new products until near the end of the design process, I'd expect it to be a while longer (more than a year? just guessing here...) before a second Outlaw pre/pro appears. For now, there's just the 950. It's certainly quite nice, though, and worth considering if you are in the market.

Gonk- I *bet* that the 950's big brother is out by the end of this year.

Now, I don't know anything more than any of y'all but... In the lastest newsletter, there was mention of I believe 4 new products coming. There was also a mention that 2 of the 4 were in product niches that Outlaw does not yet occupy, which means that 2 are *in* the realm of current products. Voila: I infer that 1 is the 950's big brother...

Plus, the end of this year would be just about 2 years from whence the very 1st 950 came out. Reasonable product cycle time frame especially when you consider that the new model shouldn't make the 950 obsolete anyway.

Just my 2 cents...
