[B]"I have heard the outlaw just to clear that up and i still much prefer the NAD."

Obviously you're an NAD fan, and so am I. I get the impression that the Outlaw engineers were trying to accomplish much the same thing with their products (put the money into the sound, and not the "looks," meanwhile trying to keep the costs down).

I ordered the unit last Wed...it's Monday and still no 1050. I guess I should be annoyed at UPS and not Outlaw, but I guess I got unrealistic expectations about getting the thing sooner (from reading all the "got it the next day!" posts.)

Note to all you Outlaw wannabes: It doesn't always arrive the next day.

"There quality control is not a problem hoewever their amps are a little less gutsy than they were back in the good old Power Envolope days. But then again they are much smoother and warmer sounding now all in all just a flat awesome piece for the money"

Again, thank you for your feedback...I am familiar with all that. I'm hoping the 1050 lives up to the quality I've lived with for 20 years.
