From the OUTLAWS AIN'T FOOL'N newsletter of April 3rd: "Within the next week to ten days you will receive a more complete Newsletter with full details and specifications on the Model 990."
OK, so it has been 10 days by my math - how about those details?!

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing......10 days should mean sometime today.....
Maybe tomorrow...
Is there still any idea about when the 90 day price lock starts? From the First day that you can place an order?

Most shops mean "10 business days" when they say such things, which would mean they've got unti the end of business on Friday to get us that new info. Of course the Outlaws aren't your average shop, so I could be completely wet.
Or, you could be about 2 hours, 2 minutes early

From the 990 FAQ (in regards to EQ features):
"We are familiar with all of the various "Room EQ" systems currently on the market, and while they are a major step forward, we are not yet ready to put the Outlaw name on any of them. We will continue to examine the field and may offer an upgrade when we feel that the EQ system will benefit your listening environment."
I like the idea of an EQ upgrade - that makes my decision much easier.....

This FAQ looks to be some interesting reading. There's a ton of good stuff in there that addresses most or all of the questions that have rattled around this thread (I think they must have been listening... ). Then there's the newsletter that just went out saying that registration for pre-orders opens up this Sunday night, an estimated 30-35 days until shipping might begin (give or take some for freighter transit, customs, and the like), and the new page for the 990 on Outlaw's site. Of particular note there is the photo gallery . Cool....

I think the Outlaws in the FAQ are gently hinting at what I've been saying for some time - don't hold your breath waiting for iLink/Firewire/1394 as a common transport medium. It has no intrinsic DRM, and is (covertly) opposed by content providers.
Too bad.

Well, I have been reading this thread with a GREAT deal of interest and my 950 is less then 2 years old. I am happy with it but now that these specs are out...what to do.
About the lip sync delay, how is it adjusted? I haven't seen a lot of issues with my 950, but are there problems with the audio not matching the video?

Will you be able to get a signal from your connected component cables and output it to the DVI? Or does the DVI output only output information from the DVI input?

The 950's three-way bass management lets me set the bass management frequency individually for different sets of speakers (front, mid and rears), which I use and like, but the Sherwood pre/pro can't do that. I use and like that feature since my front speakers are built to go lower in freqency than my rear speakers can. For now, I'll be keeping my 950.
