I thought it was hilarious when Home Theatre magazine was gushing eloquent over the "genius that is Jim Fosgate" (I paraphrase only slightly) because of "his" FAP-T1 - over a year after the 950 was released, and slightly less time after they themselves had reviewed the 950. When I wrote them to see if they had drawn the connection between the two units all I heard back was deafening silence.

you showed the reciever ver of the boston .. they have a prepro also that is very similar .. the ... reciever with no amps for 1000 less.. is their slogan.. atp 7 or something..

avp 7 to be exact ..1999. . retail...

so it seems yes they are all prob similar .. and the outlaw and sherwood are selling at about the same price yet outlaw has some perks over the sherwood .. and the boston is a little more $ bt has a special universal remote and ?? didnt get to deep into thier specs ... one plus on the sherwood is they are readily availible..

I think the 990 is a great deal - the fact that it is based on the Sherwood platform certainly doesn't hurt the 990 any, especially considering the generally high praise the P-965 has garnered over the last year or so. They took an already good product, added some nice features, cleaned up the software some, and offered it for less money. Seems pretty win-win to me.

travk13 - the BA uses an MX-500 remote, as does the Sherwood. Outlaw pulled it and substituted the less expensive Catalyst48, which presumably helped them come in with the lowest list price of the three in spite of the additional development work and the assorted extra hardware and software features.

i noticed ba was giving it their own model # and saying ir universal.. couldnt find a pick .. thanks for info gonk .. .. ba has never let me down quality wise .. if they used the same base thats just more good about this .. i agree gonk the 990 is a great deal .. i'm still curious of these ul's ..

Anyone looking at the BA is advised to look at their menus and those on the 990 to see the differences and attention to details from Outlaw that may not be present in other similar products.

jhunt1, I think you meant this thread.
