First, let me say that I am in the market for a new sub in the not-to-distant future; so this announcement comes at an opportune time. Second, let me voice my hope that it will be a HIGHLY MUSICAL sub, rather than one just designed to shake and rumble for the HT crowd. I have a stack of three non-powered, 12" downfiring Radio Shack subs driven by old Carver and Phase-linear amps that I kick in during movies. I shake my whole house and the neighbors' on both sides; but I have to turn them off when I play music, or it all turns to mud. I have a powered N.E.A.R. sub with twin metal 8" drivers dedicated to music, but it lacks the extension needed for Home Theater. So, I would love to replace the RS stack with a second MUSICAL sub which, when combined with the N.E.A.R. sub would still rock my (and my neighbors') house during movies, while keeping my music rich and sweet. If anyone can bring a truly deep, musical, extended sub to market for under a grand, the Outlaws are the ones. -- Which brings up point number three, y'all are shooting too low with your comparisons. Ignore the Hsu's and SVS's at similar prices. Let's shoot for the likes of the new James subwoofer, or the Paradigm servo-15, or the B&W CDM, or one of the Velodines, etc. in the $1,500 arena. That's the Outlaw way! Same or better sound for half the price or less. Now you have my attention!
