I seem to get more disappointed by Outlaw every time I see them advertise a new device other then their own.
Now it's the Marantz SR6006. While I have been remaining loyal to Outlaw and at this point and time my 990 still "turns me on", I am getting a bit twitchy not believing that the Outlaw 978 will become a reality in the near future.
Comparing to other prepro's I wonder if the Outlaw will have the chance to get out of the gate....competitively.
The near local home and audio store in my area is selling the Integra DHC 80.3 for $2600 with the DTA 70.1 as a combo at $4600.
I am not in the market for an amplifier but certainly looking for an upgrade with what the DHC 80.3 offers.
The store will give me an allowance of $400.00 for my Outlaw990 bringing the price down to an affordable $2200. Another incentive is NO TAXES.
I do not think the Outlaw is going to be to far below that number nor do I thing the 978 will have near as many bells and whistles.
I am normally not a bells and whistle guy but the DHC has plenty to offer by way of audio and video processing and it's available NOW.
