I'm also interested in upgrading my amp once I receive my 990. Does anyone have any additional specs for the 790, like what its output is at 4 Ohms, etc.?

ratpack, just a note: 2 conductors (white/black) + ground is actually 12/2, as odd as it sounds. 12/3 is actually 4 total conductors (often white/black/red) + ground.

it would be nice to get the amp too, but you can always use what you already have and wait to upgrade to the 790. though there will probably be a package deal for the 2.

We don't have much on the 790 at this point, and it may be a while before we do (the impression I got from reports coming out of the HE Show in New York back in late April made it sound like they were making some significant changes to the design). You might consider contacting Outlaw and asking if they would honor the package pricing (whatever it ends up being) if you bought the 990 now and the 790 when it came out later?

Question:
I have not seen the 990 in person but understand it is actually black and not charcoal as it appears on-line. If it is black, will it not match the M200s?

Thanks,
Ed

It is black, and it is a pretty decent match to the M200's - the only real differences are that the model number on the 200's is silkscreened in green while the 990's is silkscreened in white and that the 990's faceplate has rounded corners in lieu of the M200's squared off corners (although rounded corners on something as shallow as an M200 would have to be very carefully done so as to not look odd). My 990 is visible through the glass of a cabinet door (at least the front display is, since the rest pretty much disappears behind the slightly tinted glass), while the pair of M200's are in plain sight on a shelf below the TV, so they aren't particularly close together in my setup. If they were all stacked together in a single open-front rack, I doubt the difference in corners or text color would elicit much comment.

Martha Stewart visits....

"Nice sound, but the edges and lettering on all your components doesn't look exactly the same, and is a different color than your carpet. You should upgrade."

smile - great post, Spiky. Maybe Outlaw could develop a booklet of arts and crafts projects for making replacement equipment faceplates out of common household items so that your amps, processor, DVD player, cable or satellite box, media server, game console, TV, and ten-year-old VCR are all properly coordinated with each other, the room they are located in, and the current holiday season. Instead of THX certification, it could come with Martha's personal seal of approval.

The Martha Stewart Seal of Approval... would that be the MSSA? Sounds a lot like RIAA or MPAA wink
