I am hanging in there and having patience. I have had the 990/770 combo for about oh five years this June and I am completely satisfied. Anyone who listens to my Home Theater system, music or movies is in awe by the sound and picture. I am sure a lot of my fellow Outlaws have heard similar comments about their Home Theaters or music systems with particular attention to the Outlaw products that are the driving force in their Home Theater/Music systems.
Don't get me wrong I have been strongly anticipating the release date of the 978 since the advertisement of its conception was on this forum, but the products I have from Outlaw are still impressive now as they were when I first purchased them.
The one good thing about Capitalism is that a strong, imaginative company always fines ways of keeping their customers satisfied.
