Methinks that if the critical path item on the schedule was the EX enhancement, we would have heard some kind of status by now. Granted that this may still be a work in progress, but my guess is that Outlaw's silence since early Nov is related to quality issues. There may also be open issues with the licensing agreements they have previously mentioned.

When all my other HT components arrive, I will then have to get a controller as well. If the 950 is timely, it will be the 950. Otherwise, I'll probably go in the direction of an AVM 20 (which I'll be auditioning this week).

Since I needed long ordering lead times to order my speakers and amps (products that are in the market, also direct from manufacturer), I decided to do such ordering and hope the 950 would be ready after I received the other stuff, versus waiting for the 950 to ship and then ordering the other stuff and waiting an extra 6-8 weeks.
