With the quarter ending soon, does Outlaw have any new info on the 997's expected ship date (or status, in general)?

Thanks

I suspect that Outlaw will stay quiet until they have something really definitive to say. The latest indirect word comes from an AVS thread on the Sherwood R-972, which indicates that the current prediction is for a late April launch. That would put the 997 landing around late June at the earliest. Since Sherwood's had a number of delays, though, I wouldn't expect Outlaw to make any commitments based on those predictions.

Sherwood told me directly that they were expecting to launch the R-972 "sometime in April." That would imply April + a few months for Outlaw's iteration of the product, based on what I've read around here.

Best,

Thank you both for the update!
