I suspect that no one wants to get the 978 out faster than Outlaw. I also suspect they have run into some unexpected (well many) snags in development. It would be nice to get some news from Outlaw one way or another. Lots of loyal fans here.

Too bad there is not any good low cost(<1K) competitors. If someone like Yamaha or Denon removed the amps out of one of their receivers and called it a pre/pro, do you think it would sell? Probably only a niche market for that sort of thing.
