I have not checked the outlaw page in almost a year. Came back today to find that the 978 is still not in production. Two years now and still nothing, can you believe it? Not suprised but wish they would have moved this thing along by now. My new theater room has been finished for a while and I made some nice upgrades this time. My Outlaw gear is working fine but I would like to do some audio upgrades, just because everything else is new. I read the last few posts about price for the new 978. If Outlaw hits it out of the ballpark with the new 978, I think they will have no problem getting 1500+ for a quality product. It might even be a bargain. Checking back in a few months and hope to find Outlaw has a production date released. Enjoy your summer.
