In Reply to: Outlaw Model 1050 6.1 channel A/V receiver posted by CL on January 16, 2000 at 14:43:02:
I've had several dealings with the President- Tom Young. He has never been anything but honest and a great businessman to work with. I purchased a Sony 1252Q front projector and my screen from him.If you think about the PC marketplace, he's following the same business model- reject the channel in favor of going direct. It's made a killing for Dell. Even Compaq is moving closer to that model.
Yes I know audio equipment isn't like computers, but as HT gains footing in the minds of the masses, golden eared audiophiles like us will be surpassed by the review reading, best price seeking, feature hungry joes.
Tom has the opportunity to be at the forefront of a retailing revolution in home theater.

Boy I hope that this is not the future of the revolution in home theater. However, please don't misinterpret.
I don't question Tom Young's honesty nor am I questioning the quality of Outlaw equipment as I haven't been able to listen or even see any of their stuff. However, NOTHING can beat an in-home trial of ANY component. Let us not forget that a system is not a single entity but rather is a sum of many parts. The "best" amp in the world may very well sound absolutely horrible in the wrong system. System matching is critical, and Outlaw negates the buyer's ability to listen before buying.
Maybe Outlaw makes a great amp. Maybe not. My point is that I truly hope that the future of audio is not degraded to the point where people will put together a system without hearing any of the components.
Long live the "golden eared audiophile."
if you look on outlaw waebsite you get a 30 day in home trial and if you are not satisfied they will return your money minus the shipping back to them. just thought i would put this in..
