Dear Fellow Outlaw:

Before we get to a bit of long awaited news, a belated Happy New Year to all from the Outlaws and our sincere thanks for your support in 2005. Last year was our best year ever, and we've got some exciting plans in store to keep the momentum going through 2006 and beyond.

That brings us right to the topic of this brief newsletter. For those who want a complete "true-balanced" audio system to match the Model 990's balanced audio outputs, or if your system demands high power, the wait is over. After a gestation period that has admittedly been longer than we might have liked, we are pleased to announce that the replacements for our highly regarded Model 755 and Model 770 are now available. We are taking orders for both of our new high-power, multi-channel amplifiers, the Model 7500 and the Model 7700. Both are coming off the production line as you read this and are already shipping.

For new Outlaws who may not have seen the initial announcement of these amps, they are full, "true-balanced" designs, rated at 200 watts per channel at 8 ohms, all channels driven (20 Hz - 20 kHz, <0.03% THD). The two models share a common design and appearance that matches the styling of the Model 990, with the only difference being that the Model 7500 is five channels and the model 770 is seven channels. Complete specs and the Owner's Manual for these "Made in the USA" powerhouses may be found on our web site at this link .

The pricing is shown below. As you have come to expect from the Outlaws, the new amps are not only great values on their own, they are even better when purchased as part of a combination with the Model 990:

Model 7500: $1,499
Model 7500 + Model 990: $2,398, a $200 discount from the "separates" price
Model 7700: $1,999
Model 7700 + Model 990: $2,898, also a $200 discount from the price when the two units are purchased separately

As a reminder to anyone who purchased a Model 990 in combination with a Model 7125 amplifier while waiting for the balanced amps (since our announcement on November 8, 2005), you are eligible for our "Trade-In/Trade-Up" promotion. Under this program, simply order either of the new amps to upgrade from your Model 7125 before February 28, 2006, and we'll ship your new Model 7500 or Model 7700 in advance so that you're not without a system. Then, simply re-pack the Model 7125 in its original carton, remembering to include all accessories, and return it to us using the prepaid freight return label that will be sent to you via USPS. Upon receipt of your old amp we will credit back the full cost of the 7125 as part of the combo package. There is no easier way to upgrade your system than that!

While upgrading your system to a fully balanced signal path, don't forget that interconnects are the final link in the signal chain. There is no better way to connect the Model 990 to your new amplifier than with our own, custom designed balanced, PCB cables. As you place your order for the amplifier, be sure to check out these high-performance, value-priced wonders.

That's it for now, and this is only the start of a year of great news from the Outlaws. Look for more exciting announcements soon.

Regards,

The Outlaws
