It looks like the originator has finished his testing at AVS Forum Outlaw 990 vs Anthem AVM-20 . It looks like a pretty fair amateur test, with a lot of bending-over-backwards to avoid various kinds of biases. Bottom line, slightly prefers Anthem for 2-channel musicality and can't tell the difference for HT listening.

Thanks Mike. I added more switches in the output path so that I could switch 5 outputs (left, right, center, left surround and right surround)to the amps as well as the digital input from the DVD player (HTPC). This let me flip a switch (well, three actually) and change the pre/pro on the fly while listening to a movie.

I came into the movie listening testing *expecting* to prefer the AVM20 since I liked it for 2ch but I honestly could not tell them apart, and I listened to a handful of movie chapters over and over on each unit over multiple evenings. Each one was just as involving as the other. Neither excelled over the others at any aspect (except for slightly more bass in the 990 that I never figured out). That does speak well for both of the Outlaw units. (The 950's strength was always movies I thought).
