Outlaw,
Very nice looking speaker with a good list of features. SEAS drivers have an excellent reputation. I will be very interested to get a report on how the speakers sound with the 2150 and one of your subs. Can you provide the frequency graphs? What crossover point would you recommend?

It looks like we have an answer to our question of what was being announced this month... The FAQ says the following: "The loudspeakers have a -3dB down point of 52Hz." Based on that, I'd lean toward a crossover point no lower than 60Hz - and I'd probably give 80Hz a try just to see how it compares.

look great - nice to know what's coming (although I don't quite see how their design complements, as the press release claims, the look of the retroreceiver). I don't see info about their sensitivity here (yet) - will be interesting to see what use people will put them to: which outlaw products/alternatives...

Wow,
The Outlaws are finally getting into speakers. I am thinking about Ascend Acoustics bookshelves now I must wait for Outlaw.

It seems the tweeter is a take off on the Seas 27TDFC. The woofer is the Seas CA15RLY. I wonder if the xover is the typical 4th order acoustic, or did they step out and go for a 2nd order acoustic? It would be very interesting to see the frequency response and compare it to a similar CA15RLY speaker such as this DIY one. Seas drivers are some of the best money can buy so they didn't skimp there. Well Outlaw give us the rest of the details! Tim

Has anyone on this site been involved with a beta test? Any dimensional info on these?
At $1,000 per pair...there is alot of competition out there from many top line speaker mfr's. I would be very interested in hearing how these stack up against B&W 602's and Paradigm Studio 20's

Not to be a sour puss, but considerable resources must have been used in designing these speakers. This can only mean no one cares to fix or is able to fix the bugs carried by the 970. I, like pretty much most 970 owners, am still waiting for the no audio fix. Sorry, these speakers could win Product of The Year honors but Outlaw gets no more of my money until the 970's 'features' (a cruel connotation given by my audiophile friends) are corrected.
