I too just ordered my 990/7125 combo with PCA's and a few other cables. Now if only the Star Trek transporter was real..........

"the waiting is the hardest part"
--Tom Petty

So you all talked me into it. I too ordered the 990/7125 combo today. I'll be stepping up from 2 channel to the world of surround. Couldn't find anything to make me happy in the two channel world so I built my own pre-amp (DC coupled), moving coil pre-amp and active crossover. It's unlikely I'll be doing this with digital. Current system is active crossover bi-amp with Adcom GFA-5500 and Sony SS-M7's on top and dual 10" drivers in acoustic suspension on the bottom, 80 Hz crossover. Very clean bass. Steve suggested I keep the crossover and use the front channels on large. I come from the land of modified Dynaco ST70's and haven't really done much in the way of upgrades since I put my current system together years ago. I would be interested in any tips in rounding it out. Godot . . . is waiting.

MarkBK & godot,
Very nnniiicce. It will be fun to hear your thoughs on the combo.

Talk about customer service! I ordered the 990/7125 combo yesterday around noon. The 990 just showed up!

Wow. I ordered a 990/7500 combo on Monday and just got the shipping confirmation...you are giving me hope!

Ordered mine on monday as well and got shipping notice today for a thursday delivery Ugh, I HATE waiting lol We all need to post our reviews tomorrow. Oh I also just packaged up my 1050 receiver that I've used for 5 years (sheds a tear). I'm headed to ups to ship it after work.

It's like giving away my dog or something lol But at least I'm staying in the family w/ the 990/7125

The 990 arrived today! It looks like I've got to wait for the 7500, though, it is coming from CA.

I'm not selling the 1050 until everything is installed and singing. Hopefully all of the pieces will be here for the weekend.

Lucky duck. I'm now listening thru 2 crappy tv speakers. UGH, the next 24 hours is gonna be long...Oh, and the 1050 is now on the ups truck and out of my life. Goodbye old friend, you served me well and introduced me to the world of home theater. You will be missed (but probably not much when the 990 arrives)

Yeah, I've been having to deal with crappy TV speakers for over two weeks now.

"Is it here yet? Is it here yet? Is it here yet?" hehe

I'm just glad my tv speakers worked as it's the first time I've EVER used them...

I received my shipping confirmation today too! The wait is driving me nuts!

Hey MarkBK,
I am waiting to see how these stack up to the others you have listened to.

990 is in 'da house! - Packed very well! Outer box had small tear - NONE on the inner box! 990 is HUGE same size as the R965 Sherwood. Build quality looks very good.
Wow! Fedex is spot on so far. Tomorrow the cables are expected and the amp is listed as Saturday! I hope Scott was right when he told me they'll deliver on Saturday!!

In my experience, FedEx Home runs Tuesday through Saturday so you should be in good shape for getting the amp Saturday.

Hey Gonk,
Thanks for the info! Can't wait to fire this up and give it a run for 2 channel....I use McIntosh tube vintage gear for most 2 channel, so it will interesting.......
