Impressive. That is the one word that sums it up. Black, monolithic and very impressive looking. The pictures DO NOT do this machine justice. It nearly weighs as much as the reciever I have been using ( Onkyo 702 ), which speaks volumes.

Finish and fit is pristine. Not a mark on the thing. Excellent job Outlaws!


Now for the REALLY,REALLY, BAD NEWS:

I have to wait 3 more days for the amp!!!!

'Tis an impressive beast, isn't it?

Is the amp scheduled to reach you in time for some weekend enjoyment?

Just curious, which amp did you choose?

Hello butchgo and gonk,

The amp will arrive in time for weekend enjoyment at least that is what fedex says! As for the amp itself I chose the 7125, as the room is only 13x 14x ( 8 or 9). I don't think I will need 200 wpc.

I am also hoping I will hear a distinct difference and ( dare I say it ) improvement in sound. If this combo cannot beat my old reciever hands down, I will be MOST disappointed!

Last year I went from my Adcom PreAmp and Amp to the 990/7125/LFM-1+ Combo.
The sound was greatly improved and using the Digital Upsample feature made a big difference.

Congratulations Bob045,
I hope you enjoy your new rig as much as I have enjoyed mine.

I love mine as well, had it about 3 weeks now! Congrats KOYAAN!

Thank you, KOYANN.

I take it you have the same? ( 990 + 7125 )

If I may ask, what did you upgrade from?

I've had mine for almost the 30-day trial period and will be keeping mine. Just had a THX-certified sound engineer last night check my system using his real-time spectrum analyser and am happy to report my system is ruler flat from 25-25,000Hz on his analyser. Just another testament to the quality of the Model 990. Been enjoying it since its arrival. Congratulations on your purchase as well.

Nice! That certainly speaks well of the 990, but it also speaks well of your listening room. Either you've done some smart work acoustically, or you won the lottery with your room layout.
