I have the ATI 2005 and from what I can tell the only difference between the 7500 and the ATI 2005 is the spacing of the individual channels within the case and the front panel. The channels in the ATI are spaced to allow the owner to add up to seven channels. ATI's web site says they will add channels at $300 each. The seven channel ATI should be identical (except for price!) to the Outlaw 7700. If you know the number of channels you need the Outlaw amps are great deals.

HEY HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS REVIEW?
http://www.audaud.com/article.php?ArticleID=1631

SEEMS TO SUM UP MY FEELINGS AFTER SPENDING A WEEK END WITH THE 990. Sorry for the caps...I have been comparing the 990 to my Acurus Act3. With 2 channel the units sound different, but very difficult to say which is better. For hometheater its no comparison, the 990 is clearly better. I will give more detail later, but the 990 has found a home in my rack.

I don't think I'd seen that review before. Thanks for the link, Star113. And it's always good to hear from somebody with a happy 990 in their stack.

well today I received 990, 7500 and the xlr cables. I am still waiting on my lmf1plus. So far i connected the units and played a few cds. At first I had a very boomy sound. I did not understand it at first. And then I figured out the my front speakers needed to be adjusted. they moved a bit during the intall of the 990/770. I have to say that after that my sound changed completely. Its as if there is a depth in the sound. its not flat. Every thing just sounded more clear. My electrostats SING. the amp is so powerful for my room that I cannot take advantage of its power. The bass is tight but missing something. Other than the transparncy and clarity improvement that I have in my front speakers, my center channel and rear speakers have woken up from the dead. I think its missing on the lower end though. I wonder is my bass problem may have to do with the speaker placement still, the sub, or Room acoustics.

Can anyone sudgest soom room acoustics that I can purchase at a good price that looks nice also. My froom is all concrete.

I have run into one problem though, auto setup does not work for me, when I run it, it keeps saying that My front speakers are small and that my rear speakers are large and that I should swap the speakers are rerun the test.


Here is the funny thing, I have Martonlogan Vistas in the front and klipsch surround speakers in the back. Is there a way that I can bypass this issue and still run autosetup.

I am not sure what to do. I have not yet watched any movies, I am waiting for the lmf1p first. I will let you know how that goes and give a more in depth review on the complete system.

I don't have any specific recommendations regarding room treatments but room issues can make good equipment sound horrible. There are gunslingers that have had room issues themselves; hopefully they will help you with all that concrete.

I didn't have any luck with the auto setup either. I recommend you use a Radio Shack SPL meter and a tape measure to manually set up the 990. If you don't have the SPL meter they are handy for fine tuning your setup beyond the initial time.

Most of all, enjoy your new gear. Now back to the Patriot; Mel is about to off some more redcoats!

Here's Scott's recommendation for the case where auto-setup complains of seeing "large" surrounds:

hey billy

You might try Bryan Pape at www.sensiblesound solutions.com He was very helpful when I wanted to build bass traps and direct reflection absorbers. It made a remarkable difference in the sound. I have M.L. sl3's and cinema in front.
I too was suprised how much depth the 990 created. Enjoy your Outlaw equipment.

Brad

thanks
