ive had a few people question me on why im using a HT frontend on a 2 channel system, which lead me to the "a bit much" comment. Its not a money point really, i already bought it at this price happily. a bit much is more like all the dolby and DTS software, ill never use it(i do have a full HT in my livingroom). that space under the hood can go to the phono pre or balanced i/o, or even sub crossover frequency control. i would just like to be able to have a more streamlined Outlaw stereo preamp, and then i would add two bi-amped monoblocks per side and die happy. ;^)

just a suggestion, certainly not a complaint.


....and it has crossed my mind that after a speaker upgrade in a few yrs that my fronts now would make a wicked set of rears for a quadraphonic romance. lots of material out there mixed in 4 channel audio, starting with Frank Zappa and ending with The Who. the 970 would then get put to the test.
