From an Email I just received:
"As you may recall from our initial announcements, the forthcoming Model 997 surround processor will be an incredible product, based on a platform we will share with Sherwood Newcastle. Among many other features, the Model 997 will offer the unique Trinnov Optimizer Room Correction system and a Reon video processor. Sherwood's version of this platform will be a receiver, while the Outlaws' will be a processor with balanced outputs.
As part of our arrangement with Sherwood, their receiver will go into production first, and our processor will follow. The platform is almost complete, but as Sherwood's receiver requires additional time for some certifications due to the inclusion of an amplifier, the start of production for our Model 997 has been pushed back a bit. Thus, we're now looking at a ship date during the first quarter of 2009. We'll keep you posted as things move forward."
