This thing had better be getting here soon. I have some tax money burning a hole in my pocket and the integra 9.9 is calling my name!!

It is looking like second quarter 2009 at best. Define soon.

Agreed. Tax money will be here soon, and I may look at my center channel and rears or sub for upgrade, or a new plasma TV (although less likely).

I'm curious as to what the Emotiva stuff will be like once it gets out the door as well. I think their price is $999 for the UMC-1 (what dumb names over there..) and in these times, that price is right!

If there's anyway that a small update concerning time frame could be posted, I would very much appreciate it.

I picked up a 7700 as soon as I noticed that the 997 was announced, and I'm currently using a second hand 950 until this puppy sees the light of day.

An update would be nice but i doubt that we will get one. Seems like Outlaw has already been bitten once and I would find it hard to believe they would take that chance again. The next time we hear anything about it will probably be an announcement stating that they are now taking orders.
