Got the email too.
Having given up on Emotiva after the junky LMC-1 and the {ongoing} UMC-1 shenanigans, I was eagerly awaiting Outlaw's 997. I guess not!

Frankly, I've run out of patience for these bargain boutique manufacturers that can't seem to deliver (on time, or at all) on their products. I've already been waiting for 3+ years for Emotiva & Outlaw to come up with their new 'miracle' pre-pros. The UMC is kind of luke-warm in its reception and the 997 was vaporware. Yay.
I'm done waiting. I'm not sitting around for another 2+ years while they try to bring out the next one, only to be disappointed again. Mass-market AVR maker, here I come.
