Again, I'm the Newbie at 5.1 surround.
Got my 990 and 755 connected so far to just the satellite. All I can say is

WOW !!!!! :p

Sure makes the living room sound great, and I don't even have my new (good) center spkr yet.
And I'm "playing" old junkers for surrounds.
The outlaws really did a remarkable job.

I still have the 4 ch inline, elsewhere in the house, but I guess I'll do my listening of CDs in the liv room. Mrs. nfaguys was also impressed with the sound. The amp is extremely quiet. Boy are we happy.

nfaguys, What time did you Register..

Actually the registration that went thru was next morning. I was at the computer waiting [with baited breath ugh]for the bell to ring at 9 PM. At about 9:05 I signed up, but I think I forgot to hit the submit button, or whatever, because the next morning I didn't have an email confirmation. So I submitted then. Could be that I actually DID submit at 9:05 [just after the starting bell].

From your question I guess you haven't received yours yet. Maybe it's just because this is so new to me, but this is fantastic !!

Good luck.

I just walked out in my garage and there set a big box with Outlaw 990 printing. DHL had delivered the box sometime today, without asking for signature, nor telling anyone that they were delivering same. Talk about service I had just got my tracking number via email at 136pm and DHL did not show the tracking number in their system. Moving out the 950 tonite and installing the 990 tomorrow. 950 on ebay Sunday.

Prefect and Gonk,

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. It looks like they've corrected my only complaint with the 950. I guess that I'm going to have to order mine now. Again, thanks.

Jeff

Pull the trigger, Jeff. I think you'll be glad you did.

Went ahead and placed my order a few minutes ago. I'd held off since Sunday evening to do so. Man, that was the longest 5 days of my life. If it weren't for being in San Jose for the week at training, I don't think that I could have held out until I got a question answered. I'll fly back east tomorrow and hopefully my 990 will be shipped early in the week and I'll have it installed by the weekend. I know that I'm being a bit optimistic, but what the heck. Thanks all, for taking the time to respond to my question. If the 990 is as fine a piece of electronics as the 950, I'm sure that I'll be happy.

Now to figure out how to sell on Audiogon or eBay. I usually just give stuff away to friends and family, but I may have to try to recoop some of my investment in the 950 since I haven't had it very long.

Jeff

I could not wait until tomorrow to install the 990. After some listening time, I do believe it sounds better than the 950. I have not listened to 2ch music for any length of time but upsampling does seem to improve the sound. Two things I do not like, 1.The Remote, which I really dislike, can be fixed with a Harmony. 2. Auto setup does not have a feature to check for out of phase wiring, my $400.00 Yamaha has this feature. This can probably be fixed with an upgrade. From a short two hours of listening to DVD Movies, HD Sat Movies, DVD-A, SACD and Analog CDs, I really like this unit and think my money was well spent.

No dis respect fellas, but this is starting to sound like magazine reviews, everything they review sounds amazing. My response is always, sounds great compared to what? A Lexicon MC-12 or a pocket 1970 transisor radio?

I want to know if the 990 is truly a $1100 processor, or does it sound more like a $2000 processor? Is anyone able to A/B it against a B&K 30/50, Anthem 20/30, Carey Cinema 6, Krell HTS, Lex MC-1, or even it's brother the Sherwood 965?... Inquiry minds want to know

Hate to try this out, but did it occur to you that everyone is giving the 990 good reviews because it really does sound good?

As to "a $1100 processor", how can you quantify that versus what a "$2000 processor" sounds like? Out of context without an A/B, that sounds impossible to do.
