The Model 990 has separate crossover settings for the mains, center, side surrounds, and rear surrounds. The crossover options offered are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz, and 200Hz. It isn't the 10Hz increments that the Arcam offers, but it is a wider range and it allows you to more accurately "dial in" your crossover points - such as 40Hz or 60Hz for mains with some good low end and 80Hz or 100Hz for smaller surrounds. Check out page 29 in the manual for a look at the speaker crossover menu.

I think the 990 looks very nice "in person" - and the flat black finish that Outlaw favors has always proven to be a difficult photographic subject (there's a lengthy discussion in one thread from the 2005 HE Show after one forum member's pictures of the Model 1070 appeared blue). The picture in my review that is probably the best representation of the actual unit is a little more than half way down, showing it connected to a laptop PC via USB (the first picture is a good close-up, but there is a front port cover off and the unit isn't turned on so the display is blank).
