Thats all fine and dandy but I'm going to wait for the 997. BTW I found the PR-SC886 on several other online retailers I use for $999, so maybe this isn't a great deal.

Are they new or refurbished?

The one's I've seen for that price are new, but not sure if it's an authorized dealer.

I recently bought a 886 from shoponkyo.com during their apparent clearance sale of refurbs for $999.
Many on the AVS forum claim a lot of these units were new. Some suggested if the serial number started with a "R", it was a refurbed unit. If the unit shpped with the current FW version of 1.4, it was a refurbed unit and Onkyo made the update. My unit was flawless, the serial number does notstart with a "R", and had 1.0 FW installed. I updated it myself to 1.4.
I have had my 886 for about a week, and I love it. The sound is incredible. I wanted to wait for the 997 but I dont think it will be out soon.
It is a very nice gesture for Outlaw to offer these units, even seeming to "authorize" them with a section for posting a competing product. But the price seems pretty high (IMO).
I think Onkyo is planning on releasing a PR-SC5507 model in the future, but I am not sure when or what upgrades it will have over the 886.

I know accessories4less had them the other day for $999 (refurbs) and they are an authorized dealer. I tried to look this morning and couldn't access their site for some reason. Accessories4less seems to have a good rep. I'm glad Outlaw is offering this option to us, but I agree, the price seems high.

Does anyone know what the Outlaw warranty on the 886 will be?

I am also sure I got a brand new 886 from Shoponkyo but I think it was just luck of the draw.
I'm not sure I'd wait for the 997 if you want a new preamp because I believe the Onkyo has more features anyways (2 hdmi outs, etc...). I have no doubt though the 997 will be very nice (and probably a little cheaper).

The replacement for this model is already available in Europe for the ridiculous price of $3,300: http://www.eu.onkyo.com/products/PR-SC5507.html Should be available in the US for (perhaps) approx. $2,100
