Have not been on this thread for a while.
I definitely intend to hole on to my 990 until Outlaw shows' me there hand.
I went for a demonstration the other day listening to the Integra 9.8. The video processing was sharp and clear. The two channel stereo was not that bad either.
The video source was a Runnco. Of course the picture would be good to say the least. My video source is the Infocus 7205 and while I think that it displays a good picture it is hard to compare products when not side by side.
The two channel stereo sounded GREAT. The store set up a pair of B&W 804's which are the speaker that I have for my HT.
Still hard to compare between the 990 and the 9.8 when not side by side.

In conclusion as I said before I will hold up in the saloon until Outlaw releases the new 990. Then we will see who does the hanging.

PS If Integra is launching a new model in September...thereby releasing two models in less than a year...what do you think the chances are that Outlaw will at least give us a peek.
