Hi Guys,
I'm one of the guys that jumped ship and bought a Denon 4810,Emotiva XPA-1,XPA-2and XPA-5 and I am very happy.
My original intent was to purchase a 997 and all Outlaw amps (was thinking of a stack of 2200's or maybe 2 7500's!).

Gonk personally answered many of my questions and I am very grateful to him for his help.

Even though I went in a different direction and other factors were involved (Emotiva is on the "other side of town" from me), I truly believe that Outlaw Audio is a very respectable company. I hope that this 997 debacle, that I do not believe was their fault, will not hurt the company too much. They still have very fine products and I am sure they will come out with a replacement processor soon.
Thanks Guys For All Of Your Help.

Blessings,Brian
