Because Outlaw's head honcho is claiming that the 978 will be using his (Audyssey's) technology, allegedly without consulting him first. He's entitled to be miffed (I would be) but I suspect he'll get over it... see RedSlinPA's post above.

I guess I now know why Peter didn't mention what flavor of Audyssey's room EQ the 978 will be using. smirk

I get that, I do. It just seems a bit odd for a company founder to be calling out a potential client like that on a public forum.

Yes, the correct response would have been a) nothing, or b) Audyssey looks forward to working with Outlaw on their new processor.

That's the way I feel too. I'm curious to see how he replies to my questions at sdurani's link. I was surprised by his comments which makes me worried he's going to hold things up for Outlaw.

Why would he? Nobody's said or done anything yet that would even begin to sour a future relationship. These are big boys... they can take it.

Chris may be entitled to a little public huffing and puffing. But when push comes to shove, what can possibly be gained from refusing to do business with Outlaw?

I don't think anyone would hold up an outlaw. Seriously, despite Chris' comments, I doubt Audyssey would make things difficult for a potential licensee, especially one as reputable as Outlaw Audio. Should make for a good partnership.

It is possible they (Audyssey) are legally restricted from being able to provide the same suite to Outlaw that they have to Onkyo, Denon and Marantz.

I would call his response "safe" - who knows what cards he's holding...Honestly, Outlaw's decision to go Audyssey may have just been made and why would they default to assume there would be problems?

Chris @ Aud's response definitely conveys that he didn't know yet, but if I were in his shoes, his response makes sense. Better than "SWEET, SHOW ME THE MONEEEY!!" laugh It also was better than "Says who? I haven't agreed to this, so Mr. T is making this up." I would imagine Chris, and Peter, have gotten to where they are by not jumping the gun, but instead conveying calm and letting things develop in good time.

Don't worry folks. I wonder a bit about this, but one way of looking at this is that outside of the meeting Peter mentioned @ CES, we on this thread may be among the first to know about such a pursuit, and if that's even partially true, well, that's pretty cool.

This is great news!! I'm almost more excited about the prospects of this project than the 998. I'm not sold on the whole Trinnov thing at this point and am lucky to not really need it. I really am just looking for something that is simple, yet focused on great sound. My new BDP 93 will take care of the video!
Way to go Outlaw!!!

First off, I really appreciate Peter's update, especially providing us with the logic behind the decision to go with first the 978 followed by the 998. They simply must get something new to market ASAP. In order to speed things up, they obviously felt they had to devote their resources to either integrating the newest 3D HDMI or go with Trinnov. And it seems that integrating Trinnov is more difficult and time consuming than anticipated. However, there is one area that wasn't addressed, and that is Beta testing. I wonder how many Outlaw beta testers currently have the equipment to adequately test 3D. In fact, I don't think the Outlaw's application form asks this. Virtually everyone could test Trinnov's room correction implementation.
