Has anyone heard a hard ship date on the 7075 amp yet? Waiting is getting tough.

24 hours and no response. :-p I sent an email to orderdesk as well. No reply from their either.

Outlaw doesn't directly respond to posts in the saloon generally. The best bet is a phone call or e-mail, and I suspect your e-mail will be answered soon.

I was being a little sarcastic. smile the outlaw team has generally been pretty good about getting back to me. If I haven't heard from them by tomorrow I'll call.

I'm almost hoping they have some B-stock 7125s coming in and maybe I'll just take one of those instead of the 7075.

Orderdesk emails are handled by Jennifer, the young lady responsible for making sure orders get processed and shipped in a timely fashion smile

Quite frankly she's been REALLY busy the last few weeks, but I have no doubt she'll reply to your email first thing in the morning. In the meantime allow me to take a stab at what I suspect you asked wink

We hope to start shipping the first Model 7075's in about a week. I'll post back here if that changes!

Best,

Scott

Well, I got tired of the delays on the 7075 so it looks like I won't be posting a review of that anytime soon. I called up Steve and placed an upgrade of my current order to the 7125 which will ship out monday. Woohoo!! I'll be joining the group soon!

Let me rephrase, my 7125 was supposed to ship out today... I haven't received a shipment notice yet so we'll see.

My 7125 arrived today. I took a long lunch to meet the FedEx guy here. Wow!!! This thing is HEAVY!!! Much heavier that I expected. I have ~3" of open airspace in my rack for the 970 and 7125 (side by side) so hopefully that's plenty.

I haven't listened to it yet, but first impressions are that the build quality is very good. It handles my MIT bi-wire cables with no issue. They're fairly inflexible so it's always a good test.

I do kinda wonder why the left channel is physically on the right and vice-versa. Seems very backwards. You'd think you'd want the binding post for a given speaker to be as close as possible. confused

"I do kinda wonder why the left channel is physically on the right and vice-versa. Seems very backwards. You'd think you'd want the binding post for a given speaker to be as close as possible."

I believe its that way so when its set up, and the front is facing forward (in a rack, etc)-the Right binding post would be on the right (as you look at it)and the Left binding post would be on the left.

I know that this works nicely when you can't see the back of the Amp (in my case the 7500) and must make connections by feel (which I do often on my setup-no room behind rack).....

Exactly - when the amp is in the equipment rack, the channel labeled "L" is closest to the left speaker, which means that speaker wires are going to do less criss-crossing of each other. It may seem backwards when looking at the rear panel, but it is actually the best choice for laying out the rear panel. (Of course, laying out the rear panel in this case amounts to some silkscreening since all seven amp channels are identical.)
