I've made that statement on the HTF and I agree that the Outlaw is not bright. I own and have owned bright equipment and I think the outlaw is dead on neutral. I think the majority of the people who a/b ed them liked the Rotel sound to begin with so it should come to no surprise that they found the Outlaws bright since (based on my experience with other Rotel pieces) Rotel is a very warm unit to begin with. Whatever it is, I strongly disagree about it being harsh.
