Wanting to run a small 3.0 HT...basically just better sound than the TV speakers...are any of the vintage receivers or gear worth it or do you give up too much?
I may be reacquainted with an Outlaw Audio 1050 HT Receiver...it is old tech and one of the Main channels is intermittent...but it may be free...I have zero talent for soldering or diagnosing issues but reading on the Outlaw Saloon Forum this may be a somewhat common issue as they aged...it may be able to go back to Outlaw or locally for a refresh but might it be worth it at $120 or so round trip and repair???
I remember it to be a nice sounding HT Receiver but it won't be able to get the newest versions of Dolby Digital or DTS but again, this is mainly for allowing better sound than my 50" plasma can produce...
Currently a tired Panasonic SA-XR57 is doing the duty this Outlaw 1050 might take over if it's worth the effort...
