If you're inclined to put any significance to model numbers, you might ask why Outlaw skipped model 970 for 990, or is the 990 just coming earlier than a model 970?

That sounds like a touch of class. I may try that out.

Maybe I could make a silver power button and make millions selling them to the group!

Just Kidding.. No offense intended..

well I called outlaw and they were very nice in telling me that they aren't going to be telling me anything.

Basicly that they have new products in the works but when they will be avaliable is not something they can talk about.

Oh well maybe I'll see about a different amp....I thgoutht the old outlaw look was kind of cool but I think that is the problem with something that looks different..it doesn't always go with everything.

That is was I like about the new 990 and 790 look is that it is very classic and it till match other brands nicely, if I ever upgrade

Before I get too concerned about the look of my pre/pro and amp being the same for aesthetic reasons, Outlaw will also have to have made my DirecTV/Tivo, DVD player, CD changer, VHS, game console, etc. so that everything will match. Right now the 990 and the 770 are separated by enough dissimilar looking stuff that they do kind of match in that wierd hodgepodge way.

Back to the first sentence, well Outlaw, are you up to the challenge? I need to upgrade everything to match the quality of my 990/770 combo anyway.

Just buy everything in black, and then they all match..

Besides, you don't want reflections of your movie in your silver faceplate on your CD player..

I am also waiting to see what happens. While I can't get too excited about getting seperates to match, it would, however, be nice to have at some point in time.

300 watts per channel would be nice to have, but don't know how often I would use that much power.

I remain undecided as to whether balanced outputs will do much for me. I would only have a cable run of a foot or two.

Any other features that may be introduced with the 790?

Two plugins!

What do you mean by two plugins?

I think it needs two circuits and has two outlets in the back, or am I thinking of another amp..
