Wow, I came back to this forum after being gone for the last several months and STILL no 997?? What are you kids waiting for. I sprang for a B & K Reference 70 which totally floored me. Sound leaves me speechless. It has its glitches yes but for those that can afford this mother...go for it. It's like taking 5-6 blankets wrapped tightly around your speakers with this compared to anything else on the market and of course including the Outlaw product to date. The Integra 9.9 is laughable. Please do yourselves a favor and test drive the b & K....what a difference. All the rest are toys.
