Hi,

The Sherwood Newcastle AVP-9080R pre/pro/tuner came out a few years before the Outlaw 950 and so isn't as up to date sonically and doesn't have DPL II or the latest DTS features, but Sherwood Newcastle expects to introduce the P-965 pre/pro/tuner in the fourth quarter of 2003. This pre/pro/tuner is not made by Eastech. It does analog and digital bass management but I don't have the details. Sherwood Newcastle had at one time considered another pre/pro/tuner, the P-958, which was to have been out by now, but those plans were scrapped. For more up to date information on the forthcoming Sherwood pre/pro/tuner, see http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=160581&perpage=20&pagenumber =2
