Hi all, I was at the HE show also. As already noted the big surprise is a new Sub The LFM-2. Frankly, I was quite suprised at how large the LFM-1 is when seen in person. For those that are considering the LFM-1 or the 990 you should be prepared that these units are BIG!!!!!. You will need some real room for these.The 990 appears larger than most flagship receivers that I have seen.
There was no real news to share about the 1070. I was hoping that a demo unit would be avaailable for a preview. There was no operational unit to preview. This was a bummer to me since i made the trip hoping to get a demo of the 1070. I asked about the 1070 and the outlaws would not commit to any real time frames. It appears that the hardware is in place but the sofeware is being revised. I would not expect to get your hands on one for the next few months. For those interested in the 990 if I heard correctly they had 3 units for sale at the show. Your wait may be nearing an end. The 990 was up and running at the show and sounded great to me. I am new the the HT scene and could not imagine anyone being dissappointed when the 990 arrives.
