Note: I'm still using a Yamaha RX-900U and a pair of RSL Outsiders both purchased in 1987, so with little opportunity to shop I rely a lot on reviews.

•my smart TV—LG 47LW5700 Because it was the first item I was able to sync to my wireless system (late 2009 iMac). My blu-ray player (Panasonic DMPBDT220) was giving me trouble but I haven't tried it since getting a new wireless router. I've only been streaming Netflix but am quitting it as of tomorrow and will then probably (maybe) try Hulu+. I should say that I stream Pandora quite a bit but my iMac has better speakers than the built-ins on the TV so I don't listen to music on the LG. (The LFM sub would be the beginning of a system that could/would change that.)

3) What new product or product category would you most like to see offered by Outlaw? Why?
Dang... that one's beyond my scope of guessing as although they (Outlaw Audio) know pretty well what their market is like and what it wants, if you read my "note" above, you'll see that I've been out of the market for too long to be able to provide a reasonable opinion. As for unreasonable, how about a HTiB for under $500 that would put a 5.1 system the likes of a Marantz SR5007 with Definitive SM55 speakers to shame?

Performance – 40% - this has to be the major factor
Price - 10% - you have to have this already set or an idea of what you are willing to spend
Brand Reputation - 25% - again this will go with the price
Professional Reviews - 25% - I research as much as I can before I make the purchase

2) When it comes to your home theater, which component provides the best access to "streaming" content and why? Be sure to provide the make and model of your go-to "streaming" device.
For me NONE - Sorry I live in Canada and the choices are not that great at this time, so the only real answers is the “shiny round stuff” for real HD and Sound.

3) What new product or product category would you most like to see offered by Outlaw? Why?
I see that they make a Processor, why not add one of their great amps and create a Received that would rival the top of the line receivers from the other companies, the 975+7125, in one package.

AS to the shipping and the extra "Canada can enter provided the winner agrees to pay the difference in shipping costs as well as any duties, taxes, etc" I'm more than willing to pay.

Measurements & willingness of company to give info about product. The more technical info free of lame marketing, the more willing I am to buy. [This goes hand-in-hand with performance so I will not give it a %. It is easier to gauge performance if you give me loads of info. If you're afraid to tell me everything about your product, I'm afraid to buy it.]

2) When it comes to your home theater, which component provides the best access to "streaming" content and why? Be sure to provide the make and model of your go-to "streaming" device.

• my smart TV
• my Blu-ray Player
• my gaming system Xbox 360 Slim for all streaming but music. It can stream movies/shows from every streaming service I use.
• my stand alone streaming device (Apple TV, Roku, etc.)
• other I stream music from my PC to other devices. The quality is better than a music streaming service.
• None, I prefer the shiny round stuff

I hate questions like this as it's an ever moving target (and they are all 100%, if I cannot afford something, I cannot buy it no matter its other merits. Similarly, if I don't like the sound, I won't)

2) My PS3 because it was already attached to the network and AVR.

3) Right now I am sub hunting. I also am tangentially interested in the good streaming device with flexible and "good" controls.

My Oppo BDP-103. There's simply nothing this player can't do, and do well. From the interface to the performance it just works. If only everything was this seamless...


3) What new product or product category would you most like to see offered by Outlaw? Why?

One thing the AV market seems to be missing is half-height HT receivers. Marantz has the NR1403 and NR1603, but it appears there's not much else. Even if it's just 5.1 I suspect there are consumers for such a product. It's hard to imagine that everyone wants/needs a 50 pound receiver the size of a 1980's desktop PC. All other forms of electronics are getting smaller and more powerful, so how come there aren't some AV receivers following that trend?

Gaming Systems... both xbox360 and ps3. In my experience Netflix is more stable on the PS3.

Stick with what they do best and produce a more varied line of subwoofers that appeal to people at different price and performance levels.
