Saturn5 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I have an Outlaw 970, which is basically the pre-amp only version of the 1070. I use mine both for 2 channel and home theater listening. It's a good setup, especially for the price. 65wpc on the Outlaw is with ALL channels driven, so it'll probably compare quite favorably with other receivers in the 100wpc range. No HDMI, but it does have DVI switching, optical inputs, and 7.1 analog inputs so you can use it with any source, Blu-Ray etc., that has 7.1 out. I'm using mine with an HDMI cable straight from the DVD player to my TV, and optical audio to the 970. I could also just an HDMI to DVI cable to the Outlaw, and then a DVI to HDMI (or regular DVI cable) to my TV. I'm looking forward to the introduction of the new Model 997 later this year that will have True HD 7.1 and HDMI built in, as well as balanced outputs, but until then I'm quite enjoying my 970. If it's a good price on the 1070, it would be hard to go wrong with it. My current setup: Outlaw 970 pre/pro Outlaw 7500 amp RF-7, RC-7, RS-62 speakers No sub - yet.

SilverSport Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 good to hear...been an Outlaw for awhile but I have and have had older models... Thanks Saturn... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkemyst Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 As mentioned above, Outlaw rates it's stuff fully utilized whereas almost all others rate as a single/pair of channels driven. As far as HDMI goes it depends if you really need video switching or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm an Outlaw fan as well. A couple of forum members have bought the 1070 within the last yr & love it as I remember the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlton Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Another Outlaw fan. Eagerly awaiting the 997. BTW Outlaw has some killer deals now on the 970 ($379, free shipping and I believe $200 off the New 997 when it ships). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 That IS a great deal...thanks for the feedback guys... Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn5 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Yeah, they've got some really great deals, and you can sign up for their mailing list to be notified of any new sales. With the purchase of a new 970, you get $200 off the price of the 997 when it comes out, if you buy one in the first six months. Considering the 970 retails for $599, that's a screaming good deal. I got mine last Nov. on their Black Friday sale. Just added the 7500 amp during their President's Day sale - $200 off, I think. I see used stuff on Audiogon all the time and most of the time it's people selling due to upgrades. I've rarely heard any bad reviews of Outlaw equipment, and the 1 or 2 I have heard sound like they just got a bad unit. It happens. I also love their 30 day in home trial. Buy it, and try it for 30 days. If you don't like it, you get your money back. Can't go wrong there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and to add, most people are more likely to give a bad review than a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
