recently friend decided to go higher end on HT system
.
I recomended a few things, speakers being the first. He bought some B&W speakers ( 5) and liked them so much he can now see what good equipment can do for your enjoyment.
He started looking at higher end Yamaha recievers ( likes their menu section )
Refered him to Outlaw 975 and the 5000 amp. Says he will buy next week and is excitted.

For the past week he has read every review, every forum thread on the Outlaw 975. He would call and ask questions.
So to be more informed and to sound intelectualy gifted I read every thread and review myself so as to seem all knowing.
SO after all this reading I was thinking, can I trade in my 990 for a 975.?
I remember Outlaw was offering $300 for a marantz product some time back.

My 990 is 14 years old, probably the single best purchase i had ever made,
Seems everything has HDMI Now, I have to create ways to get my 990 in the mix, having to run way more cable than if I upgraded to the 975.
Guess another question would be, would I be lossing anything on the audio side of things by switching ?
