Know what?

I don’t think I need to upgrade to the new box. I took one of my original Outlaw boxes and connected it to my system to see if it needed any improvement. I started conservatively. At first I checked for hiss or other bothersome signal problems with the boxed closed. I then slowly progressed until I had the box wide open – still no hiss! No distortion! Even if the new box has a few more cubic inches than my original box, I really don’t think the new box will do any better in my system. Guess I’m going to just have to suppress my “number envy,” seeing as the new box says “990” and my original box doesn’t, at least until a good deal of material becomes available needing a format my original box won’t hold. Perhaps then I can justify an upgrade.

If any of you do install the new box in your system, be sure to give the rest of us your impressions.
