Since my last posting got off the rails, I'm back!

Anyone put in later than 2pm on the 18th on the wait list, that has received an offer to purchase email?

Show of hands please!

trikos - when did yours go in? I think I've got a big wait. Joined the wait list (well confirmation at) Tue 4/19/2005 9:18 PM. 19 hours worth of reservations for me...

Obiwan, unless you can use the force, I should get mine just before you.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005 9:15 pm (according to Outlaws email)

I have not heard any news from anyone after 2pm Mon on the boards, so hopefully today we will start hearing more because some people I think had until today to decide.

Good luck

Still waitng here

Hurry UP let me spend some money!

So we know we are later than 2 but not up to 7:45 on Monday.. Things really seem to have stopped moving in the last 3 or 4 days..

trikos:

Based on what we have seen, has it occurred to you that things haven't "stopped moving", but that they are probably sending the "convert your reservation to a real order" messages in batches every three or four days? If I were them, I'd do it that way since it seems logical that they want to be certain to keep things managed properly and allow orders to be processed error-free and have any credit card processing issues dealt with properly.

RELAX! You seem to be taking way too much time watching this. It will come sooner than you think, but as an old friend of mine used to say "a watched fax never boils".

I've never seen a fax boil when I didn't watch either..

Some people talk about cables, some people want to understand where they are in the queue.. I think most people that talk about high priced cables should relax..

i just took the plunge ... with the new video switching and upgrade ability .. not to mention dual sub out ... i can throw my Y away.!!! just sent reservation last night so i may have to wait.. quite some bit ... i wanted to see some user feedback .. i was worried it was a 965 clone .. but it seems they just used the back panel and started anew.. i cant wait to tie it to my ATI 1506.. i love my ATI..

Congrats! I am thinking that it was very front loaded, so you may get your invitation around the same time as I do, Obiwan and clwarner.

I have not heard from anyone else, but I am sure there are a lot more than four of us

I assume you had something before? (most people don't have two subs and a Y cable sitting around)

at moment using a onkyo nr801.. its purpose is my game room but its filling the void till i get me 990 .. i've had Harman kardon sig 2.1 2.0 and marantz etc .. as prepro 's .. now my ATI 1506 is craving a good prepro .. the onkyo 801 is a reciever but the pre outs are decent and i use the direct out to my audio control eq for tampering with the signal to my tannoy Dual concentrics .. i have the 12dmtII as mains at moment and saturn 8 floorstanders for rears and a d6c center .. one custom sub with a 250 rms 456 peak .. amp pushing a boston acoustic 13" generator .. very tight no mud .. then a harman 12 that i use out of phase for a eefect that really gives a fullness. ... the dmt 12s do fine without a sub on stereo.. i probably will stay 5.1 .. enough for me .. but who knows .. i have my 1506 i have fronts and backs one channel each and the last two bridged to the center .. the 1506 is cool because its versitile .. 3 5 6 channels .. anyhow the onkyo is for the game room .. xbox etc .. to replace my hk310 reciever .. no video up..

Has anyone got new invites today (19th)? As I believe some of the first batch invites were set to expire and there has to be at least 1 person who declined!

Thats my thought too, but its aweful quiet on the ranch today...

I just received my invitation to purchase - I put my name on the list on 4/18, 9:07 pm. I'm not positive but I believe that was cst.

Looks like we have 24 hours left Obiwan!

I got my invitation today, I reserved at like 9:00 in the morning on Monday.

Yikes! We are going backwards..

received invite today at 10:45am

i will pull the trigger tonight.

clwarner,

When did you get your response from joining the wait list?

He's the forth message on this thread, which is Monday, April 18 7:45pm

LOL - should have re-read the whole thread

Supposedly my 990 is on its way, but Fed-Ex has had the thing for 30 hours and they haven't managed to get out of California yet.

I notice on the Fed-Ex tracking site that the weight on the package is listed as 11 lbs. Do you think they are holding an empty box? Did some robbers ambush their coach and ride off with my 990?

Gather up a pose!

If they charge you for 11 lbs you will be laughing to the bank. That will be cheap..

Its California, I have a LFM1 still sitting there after two days too, with UPS.

What time was your wait list booked?
