While I am very satisfied with my 990 the initial excitement for the event of the 997 coming out of the Outlaw Vault had me saving my change in the chance that I would want to make a step up....not a lateral move.
The 3D agenda does not interest me in the least. The idea of of watching movies with glasses does not make me more incline to watch more movies or spend the extra money for 3d movies.
When technology moves into the arena of watching 3D movies without glasses I will be the first in line.
Besides how many 3D movies in one day can someone watch while wearing those glasses without getting a headache.
As far as room equalization my B&W 804's sound fine with the SPL meter I purchased from Radio Shack.
Not to mention the thunder roar from those JL Audio subs.
So how much sound quality am I missing.
With the demise of the 997 and the introduction for plans of the 998 I thank Outlaw for taking its' time so I can reevaluate my necessity for having to drop my 990 for an upgrade.
Myself, I am not interested in a processor from Marantz, or cables from Perfect Path....
I want to see products from Outlaw.

Hoping that the OutLaws will have the 998 out between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Have read everything I can find, looks doubtful though........I am holding off just to see at the moment. Really not interested in 3D but would like to have the upgraded unit of 1.4 or 1.4A. Guess I'll make the decision shortly before Christmas if no more updates appear. Got the bug for a newer unit and looking Rotel 15 series and Pioneer sc27 to go with.......Fingers crossed....Cmon OutLaw.

I do hope that the Outlaws realize that if we weren't all rooting for them we wouldn't still be coming round here and offering what, from what I can tell from most everybody, is constructive criticism.

The Yankees and the 998 have at least one thing in common, everyone is pulling for them in October no matter what the odds are.

I am very disappointed with the wait for a new pre pro. My 990 died tonight and I was hoping to replace it in February of 2010! I watched a movie this afternoon and it was working fine but tonight she just won't start. I hit the on button, the blue light comes on, a couple of relays click and she just shuts off. There is no 990 forum that I see so I am posting here for ideas. I unplugged her and let her sit but nothing. It is not overheated. I really wish we had some news of a future product but as it stands I may just give up on an outlaw product. A nice inexpensive Yamaha receiver might be a better alternative. This is just poor timing.. Sigh, it is still under warranty as I got her in Feb of 06. The question becomes is it really worth getting it fixed when a 400 receiver gives you pre outs with all the new codec's? So you can all wax poetic about Outlaw being the greatest but I am not seeing that right now. This place is far more quiet then when I used to poke around in 06.. Looks like they are losing fans.
