Thanks for the input gonk. The 1070 is more similar to the 1050 than I realized. Your recollection of the sound quality of the 1050 is very similar to what I remember... not "squeeky clean" but there was something about the sound from that little reciever that I liked.

I think I'll go ahead and try a 1070. I noticed they have some "B" stock on hand, which would save me a few bucks and if I should decide to return it, Outlaw wouldn't be stuck with an additional open box unit.
