Outlaw Audio or Marantz?

Which would you buy if the costs were equal? Outlaw Audio RR2150 or Marantz 2270?

2270 for many reasons, the best is it will probably never lose value.

 

[KentTeffeteller]

2270 in every aspect here. Better built, sounds better, holds it's value.

2270.

Outlaw if I wanted to listen to it, Marantz if I wanted to look at it.

Any Marantz 22xx operating at spec will sound excellent. If it's cosmetically nice, you can't beat the look. I think some brands sound slightly better but factoring in appearance hard to beat Marantz. Just my opinion. The Marantz had a consistently beautifuly designed product.

What did you choose? For me I'd take the Outlaw almost all the reviews point to it being a versatile great sounding receiver and reasonably priced. Never cared for the looks of those Marantz receivers. Way to cluttered a face for me. All equipment of this age is looking at re-freshening to be top notch and I would hate to tackle one of those and I'm to cheap to pay to have it done. The Outlaw would be cheaper in the long run and you would never get back what you put in with the restore of the 2270.
