Thought I would just check in to see if anyone has any info on the bookshelf speakers - have any been shipped? anyone received a shipment? any feedback on their relative merits/weaknesses? any idea why the speakers are still not listed in the "products" section of the website? just wondering...

I was also wondering if anyone knew of an approximate cost yet. I'm looking to upgrade my speakers as well. I'm considering these or some maggies.

Cost is known - $1000/pair for the black finish, $1100/pair for the Cherry veneer. They were hoping to begin shipping around now, so hopefully we'll be getting an update from Outlaw in the near future.

I haven't seen a specific location aside from somewhere in the US.

While we're talking updates, who else got last night's e-mail from Outlaw? There were a few interesting bits of information in there:

Those who have already placed their orders should receive a shipping notice some time next week.
Now, those of you out there who have placed orders, this means the rest of us have a request: we want to know what you think of these! wink
Quote:
As proud parents, we want to give the Outlaw Bookshelf Loudspeaker a proper introduction to the world with the following offer. Since the RR 2150 is, in many ways, the product that initiated the development of this speaker, we are pleased to announce a special combo package. Purchase an RR 2150 together with a pair of The Outlaw Bookshelf Loudspeakers and you will save $150 off the individual pricing: An RR 2150 plus black speakers is $1,498, and an RR 2150 and cherry speakers is $1,598. Together, this combination is a great value for the music lover or movie enthusiast with room for only two speakers. This promotional price is available immediately.

In addition, we realize that many "early adopters" of the RR 2150 would have also purchased the speakers if they were available when they bought their RetroReceiver. To level the playing field, we want to make certain that every RR 2150 owner has access to the package discount price, regardless of when their receiver was purchased. Therefore, anyone who bought an RR 2150 from Outlaw may now order a pair of Outlaw Loudspeakers at a special price of either $849 (black) or $949 (cherry) through April 16th, 2007. After that date, the combination price will only be available to new RR 2150 purchasers.
Now this is an intriguing deal: a pair of the new speakers and an RR2150. Heck, toss in an LFM-2 if you want. Cool... Also cool to see them looking out for existing 2150 owners - $150 discount on a pair of Bookshelves, so it matches the new 2150/BLS package pricing.

That's awesome that they're offering witht he RR2150 even if you bought it already.

I'm seriously considering the bookshelves as a possible replacement/upgrade for my fronts.

Good to see that online post has been edited to correct the typo (re: review) in the email... laugh

Something to meet the high standards of "Aerial, Dynaudio, Revel, Snell, Thiel, and Vandersteen" is tough indeed. I am looking forward to listener reviews to see how close the Outlaws come to their goal.

Also, looking forward to some comparison with ANY retail sold bookshelves with MSRP < $1500...

yes, I second the request for 1st impressions. hope people get them soon - and hope it drives them to post in the saloon(s) and other forums. I got the offer email three times, followed by requests for resubmitting the ID of all my outlaw gear. maybe some database mixup - but on the one hand they know I'm a previous customer, on the other hand they had misplaced, it seems, the registrations. odd that. now if only they would offer a deal on the subs as well as the bookshelf boxes!

Anyone - a review, PLEASE...
