Thanks everyone for all of the replies. It sounds like everyone is generally happy with the overall feature sets. Hopefully Outlaw is listening to some of these requests for the next generation pre/pro.
I've been doing a lot of listening to Paradigm and B&W. I think the B&W 804's have my name on them. I love the clarity.
Has anyone done extensive listen with the 990 and the 800 series? Will the amplifier be sufficient for the N804S? Thanks again for all the help.
