Not sure if we're allowed to link threads in other forums, but there's a guy named Russdawg on AVS that owned a 990 and sold it as soon as he heard the AVR300.
"If I hadn't bought an Anthem MCA 50 only weeks earlier I would have bought this receiver on the spot and called it a day. Instead I ditched my Outlaw 990 as I stated in my above post and bought the Arcam 700 pre/pro."
That's the first direct comparison that I have seen. I'll encourage him to post more detailed observations here.

To keep things in perspective....
From what I've read of Russdawg's posts, he thought the AVR300 was comprable to the 990 with very little difference. In another post, he stated he ordered the AVP700 without hearing it.
I'll let you draw your own conclusions...
