I too have been on the fence for about a year. Should I mortgage the house and go for an Anthem? Should I wait for Outlaw to come out with the 950 replacement? Should I just say to heck with it and get an Onkyo? Should I give in to the wife and buy her more shoes instead? But I never decided against the Outlaw because I'm all for quality over looks or bells and whistles. And if I keep waiting for the latest and greatest equipment to process the latest and greatest formats, well, that could go on forever. So with the rumors flying I decided to wait and see what would be unveiled at the HE show, and when it appeared that the new product at end of year would be the 1050 replacement, not the 950, I figured I should go for the 950, then the waffling started again. But when the Outlaws offered a show discount of another $100 off the 950/7100 combo I took the plunge and I'm glad I did. I've only had them for a week or so, but they are 2 fine pieces of equipment. They have all the features and flexibility I need and then some, quality construction, and the bottom line, they sound great. I just think they are an awesome value.
Good Luck with your decision.
