I have been busy ordering stuff for the past couple of weeks. I am upgrading from a Pioneer Elite VSX-45TX receiver, run in 5.1

The new goods:

Processing: Outlaw 990
Amplification: Sherbourn 7/2100
DVD: Denon 1600
Speakers: Ascend Acoustics 340's across the front, 170's x 4 across the back, HSU Research subwoofer.
Cables: Dayton Audio (www.partsexpress.com)
Power: Monster Power HTS3500 MKII

Will let you know how it goes when it all arrives. I am very interested to see how much difference there is between a $6000 set up and a $2200 set up. It better be good--we'll see.

Looks like a fun system, Dude. Enjoy!

Nice System - I just did the upgrade from a Denon 3803 to the following

Processing: 990
Amplification: 7125
L/R Speaker: Audio Physic Tempo III
C Speaker: Audio Physic Tempo III Center
Sub: HSU Research
PJ: Panny AE900
Need Surround L/R - open to suggestion here.

Just got the Outlaw today and only had a little while to experience it before I had to catch a flight. But inital reaction is that the soundstage is much larger/fuller and much more dyanmic. Can't wait to get back home. . .

TDA, your jaw will hit the floor.

Congrats, Dude! Very similar to the system I'm thinking about building ! Let us know how it works out ...

"The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners. Shoosh. I sure hope he makes the finals."
