I can't wait to be commenting in forums discussing the actual performance of this pre/pro.
I can't wait for this thing to finally come out one of these aeons so we could be commenting in the forums discussing the actual performance of this pre/pro.

XenonMan, I just noticed you have the Large Advent speakers, so to post something other than "still waiting on word about the 978", I thought I'd say that I still have my Large Advents that I bought around 1973. A couple of years ago, I replaced the crossover caps and re-coned the woofers and they sound good - make for a nice gameroom or garage speaker pair. Some day I'll refinish the walnut veneer.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Yeah, I have had mine since 1976. I have refoamed them several times but for $20 you can't beat the sound. I use them in a 3.1 system for watching TV and they are fabulous. I even have a set of replacement tweeters just in case I smoke em sometime. I keep them protected with a one amp sloblo fuse so They are in good shape.

>I use them in a 3.1 system for watching TV and they are fabulous.<
I dropped my surrounds and moved to a 3.1 when I remodeled the living room. Perhaps I am getting older but 3.1 seems perfect for me. I don’t think I would ever want to drop the center or the Sub from the mix when watching a movie. Anyone else move to 3.1?

Surrounds are good if done right - a lot of people use direct radiating traditional boxes, and they turn up the volume a bit much, so the "surround" effect is not very surrounding. Bipole or dipole speakers work well.

Looks like Emotiva has beaten Outlaw to the punch as their processor is coming out this summer. The XMC-1 $1499 with Tact correction
