Pat,

I'm happy to say that I'm still using my 1050 with a 750 amp. I was waiting to upgrade to an HDMI capable preamp, and then eventually a 7 output power amp. Yet, for the upgrade, as to why I'm not taking advantage of the 975, I want HDMI input wiht XLR output. I'm really thinking about the Marantz AV7701 with a Marantz MM8077 power amp. I've been very loyal to Outlaw, and would love to see a similar preamp, that has HDMI input and XLR outputs. (yet I haven't upgraded my sub to an XLR input one yet) Thoug, should I consider going with the Outlaw wireless system? That is a possibility, but I have concerns. Anyone else have input on my wants and needs. For, I do fear that my 1050 may go out soon, but I hope not! (knock on partical board or better yet fine cherry wood board)
