I got it last night. Here's what the newsletter said:

Quote:
How would you like to be one of the first to own a Model 990 Preamplifier?

To be honest, the Outlaws are sometimes a bit lazy, and we'd really rather not pack up all the gear we're bringing down to this weekend's Home Entertainment Show at the New York Hilton and haul it back to the Hideout. Therefore, to make our lives easier and yours more interesting, we've decided to sell all of the production level Outlaw products we're bringing to the Show, along with the two speaker systems supplied by our friends at Atlantic Technology. This will include some amplifiers, an ICBM, and a few Model 990's! (Sorry, the video projector is not included, and pre-production equipment has to go back to the Hideout!)

With the exception of the 990s, all of the equipment will be sold at our standard "B Stock" prices on a first-come, first-served basis. For those not familiar with Atlantic Technology, we will have two different speaker systems available: a brand new "System 3200" Plasma Speaker System and a brand new "System 8200".

- The System 3200 includes a pair of front channel speakers and a center channel speaker. The retail price for this system is $1,400, but we are offering it at $800 to one lucky buyer.
- The System 8200 (Atlantic's best) is a complete seven speaker system and is the perfect match for Outlaw components. It includes two sets of front channel speakers (one for the front and one for the back surround channels), a center channel speaker and a pair of bipole/dipole surround speakers. The System also includes pedestals for the front, surrounds and back surround speakers and comes with premium gloss side panels. (Note: Since our own LFM-1 subwoofers will be taking care of the bass in our demo room, the system does not include the Atlantic Technology "ped-woofers".) The retail price for this system is $13,370, but thanks to Atlantic Technology we are able to offer it for $7,900. We recognize that this may be a substantial hit to your credit card, so we will also accept a cashier's check as payment for all or part of the system if necessary.

Come to our suite, see what we have on display, take a look and listen, and if you can't wait to get home to order new gear for shipment to your home theater, please see Scott or Diane to make purchase arrangements for the available demo gear and to pick it up at the end of the Show. All demo equipment purchased at the Show MUST be removed from our suite no later than 6PM on Sunday, May 1st.

We anticipate a high demand for the Model 990's that will be in the demo room. (There will be three available.) Therefore, in fairness to all, the lucky buyers will be selected in a random drawing. If you are interested in one of the Model 990's, come to our suite at any time before Sunday at 1:30PM and put your name and a home or cell phone number in the box we'll have available. We'll choose the buyers' names at 2PM on Sunday and call them from the suite. If we cannot reach a prospective buyer and do not get a call back within ten minutes we will select an alternate buyer. As with the other equipment, you must come up to our suite at the end of the Show on Sunday to verify your credit card data and to collect the equipment.

Don't forget, the Show starts on Friday at the New York Hilton, and we are located in the Morgan Suite. Come on up and visit, listen to a demo, meet the Outlaws, ask Peter for a tschotska, and if you are interested, get some great demo gear at a good price.

In addition to everything we've already announced, here's yet another reason to come and visit us: there may be one more BIG (or should we say "little"?) surprise, but you'll have to come to the Show to find out what it is.

A few notes in closing:
- For those who requested free Show tickets, we have mailed all we have to the lucky recipients. If you haven't received one by now, we apologize, but our supply was exhausted before we got to your place on the request list.
- An update for those on the Model 990 reservation list: The shipment is in sight, and we will absolutely begin shipments this coming month. Depending on a few last minute details, we expect to begin contacting the first of those on the reservation list with a confirmation/conversion message within a week or so after we return to the Hideout.
- We'll be back to you with a complete wrap-up of the HE Show and all of our announcements sometime in Mid-May. We'll try to get to it sooner, but please bear with us, as we are about to start the busiest and most exciting month in Outlaw history!
- We apologize in advance for any delays in responding to customer service e-mails and calls from Tuesday, April 26th through Monday, May 2nd. Scott and Steve will be on-line during the week, but due to their responsibilities at the Show it may take a bit longer to get back to you than normal.

That's it. We're packing up the chuck wagon, hitching the horses up, and making the trek down to New York. We look forward to seeing you there!

Regards,

The Outlaws

Thanks Gonk.

Usually they update the "Announcements" part of the forum when they send something out. I guess they haven't had a chance.

You're right, it doesn't look like it will be long now.

Thanks again.

Does anyone have a sense of how many units are on the boat & will be released to the waiting list? I know Outlaw hasn't said, but what usually constitutes a shipment via boat? I imagine they can share a container with some other products, but based on what they've done in the past, any guesses on how many will be hitting our shores in the first wave?

I was traveling when the the initial reservation was released, I did get signed up an hour or so later, but I'm hoping I'm part of that 1st shipment (otherwise I need to buy something else - I'm without a processor).

Not only feedback, I wouldn't mind see some higher rez pictures (especially the back of the unit).

Feedback and a few pictures have appeared in this thread . Nothing real high res on any of them, but we've already got a massive rear panel picture of the 990 from Outlaw.

Just wanted to let you guys know that the "little" BIG surprise was a new Subwoofer...the LFM-2. Its is about half the physuical size of the LFM-1. It is an 8" drive and 150W amp. The retail price is $299.

I thought the outlaw demo with the Atlantic Tech speaker system was the most enjoyable one at the show. They had the 990 with the 770, two LFM-1 subs and the Atlantic Tech 8200 speaker system. A dwin DLP was the video source.

Overall I was very disappointed in the show. There were alot of big names that did not have a presence there that were there in previous years. Stewart, Sony, JVC, on and on. Last years show was 100% better than this years show.

Oh, Oulaw also presented a spec sheet for the 990 which had combo prices for the 990 with the 3 various amps.

The 790 amp was non-existent at the show and it was explained that they still are having problems with heat issues. They do not want to release a buggy unit so they are going to wait until most of the bugs are out of it.
