Just received my 990 / 7500 combo, and I love it. The difference between this and my old Pioneer is night and day. The 7500 gave me hernia getting to the basement, but it was worth it  Only issue I seem to have an issue with are the stiffness of the outlaw XLR cables. I'm going to try some vecro wraps to to tame them. Anyone else have this issue, or no ?

Thats sounds like a great combo,I have the 7125 at present and some very eff.speakers,and lots of headroom.The 7500 is very tempting though.

You can try heating up the wire jackets a bit with a hair dryer. That should temporarily make them pliable enough to route them how you want and get them zip tied in place.
Cheers,

I elected to get bluejeanscable XLR cables, as their other cables have always been very high quality, and the reasonable price is just a bonus. They are not in the least stiff, and actually more flexible than their unbalanced ICs.

SlaggEm,
I have the 1.2 meter Outlaw XLR cables between my 990 and ATI 2005. Yep, they are pretty stiff and they take up extra space behind my cabinet. I understand Outlaw will not take cables back but no harm in asking them. Hope it works out for you.

I also have the XLR cables (990/7500); they're stiff, but not really an issue for my setup. I would assume that the plastic jacket that the cable is enclosed in gives them their stiffness. They are well built (they look like they came out of a B-1 bomber).
As you stated, the 7500 is heavy-almost needed a chainfall and a come-along to get it into the rack.

I was able to get the cables to behave -- I put a velcro wrap on each once i had it coiled. They do take up a bunch of space, but they do look pretty cool.
