Well, gunslingers, I'm about to conduct a little experiment that will likely interest a number of you. It's been almost exactly seven years since I made any significant change to my home theater speaker line-up (although there have been a few adjustments along the way, such as changing side surrounds when we moved and using two different subwoofers). My Paradigm Reference speakers have been very good to me during those seven years. Nonetheless, I'm going to try something a bit different shortly: changing out the front trio for some Outlaw speakers. I've put in an order for a pair of cherry Bookshelves and a cherry LCR. I've been mulling it over for quite a few months now, but have finally pulled the trigger. I will, of course, report back with details once I have them here and running...

Cool beans...would have liked to hear your experiences on three LCRs, but it will be interesting to see what you think of that setup.

My co-worker has three LCR's (paired with a 990 and a stack of M2200's), but we haven't arranged a gathering at his place yet to hear them.

gonk -- did you audition any other speakers before deciding to try out the Outlaws? If so, I'd be interested in any comparisons and, in any event, look forward to your report on the new set-up.

Regarding new spkrs: I believe I read on another forum (AVS?)that these are made by SNELL. Do you know? Any evidence, or is this simply hearsay?

Mornin', fellas...

Not beyond having listened to various other systems over the last few years, which gave me a little exposure to B&W, Spendor, PSB, Martin Logan, and AV123's X-series.

Need to start setting up an HTML file for it, I guess... wink

I also saw that on AVS . It doesn't appear to have been officially confirmed by any company sources (Outlaw or Snell), but the AVS'er who reported it had a picture (which I've got saved around here somewhere) of Outlaw-stickered drivers in a Snell facility. That matches up well with the fact that Outlaw's having them built domestically (Snell is in Massachusetts, the same state as Outlaw's offices). I'd call it "compelling hearsay."

It is true. The Outlaw BLS and LCR are manufactured by Snell.

laugh - OK, so I guess it does appear to be officially confirmed. Thanks, Scott.
