Outlaw selling 970 for 299.00

[MatthewB.]

Offer good till July 6th (so hurry) doesnt decode the new audio formats has no HDMI (but does have two DVI inputs one out. But for you "old schoolers" this is a nice price for a brand new 970.

Yeah, that was when Outlaw made the bad decision of choosing DVI over HDMI.

I'm not sure Matthew, $300 now can get you a pretty nice refurb receiver with HDMI inputs,
all the newest audio decoders and with a bit more substance too, because you have 7-channel power amps as an additional extra, and pretty good bench results too.
Plus a lot of other goodies.

The Onkyo TX-SR606, for example.

These are much better deals, for HDMI receivers.

And besides, look at these:

* http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/ONKTXSR606/Onkyo/TX-SR606/90w-x-7ch-HDMI-Theater-Receiver-Black/1.html --> $319.99

* http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/MARSR4002/marantz/SR4002-receiver-80w-x-7ch-HDMI-home-theater-surround/1.html --> $299.99
-> Just scroll down a bit.


Also, for only $50 more ($349.99), you can get the Marantz SR4003,
or the SR5002, or even the SR6001 (this is an amazing deal ).
And for $499.99, you can get the Marantz SR7001. This is a deluxe receiver.

So now, Matthew, what was it you were saying about that dinosaur Outlaw 970 pre-pro?

 

[MatthewB.]

Hey I know it's old, but maybe for those with a spare amp lying around.

 

[walter duque]

It's not a bad piece for an entry level Pre-Pro. For some of us which are not so advanced with all the new formats it's not a bad deal. I get by without HDMI inputs.

 

[oldgoalie33]

I'm a former owner of a 970 and at this price I'm thinking about getting another one for future 2 channel use. If HDMI and the lastest codecs aren't a must have, it's really a good pre-pro.

Or some Mackie's. I recall when these were the brains of some great Ht. Some of us find Blu-ray way overrated.

 

[sharkman]

I've been keeping my eyes open for a good preamp for 2 channel music. For 300, that's pretty good...

That's because you're watching it on a 50" screen.

 

[Lordoftherings]

^ Or he's looking behind the screen.

If you buy an amp the 970 is 99.00

Ya, I saw that, their combo spacial.

Is the 990 a better pre/pro?

 

[lakshmant]

I also found a great deal on this Receiver and is it good a surround processor. How is the audio quality and decoding accuracy.

If you're talking about the Outlaw Audio model 990 (2005 model), it is a pre/pro, not a receiver.
