Vintage solid state receiver vs Outlaw RR2150

[monkboughtlunch]

Yep- Zeke- I would be, too.

The Outlaw is NOT one of the top 2-3 receivers of all time, for sure. And I got mine on sale for $500. But for what I want, it's an excellent choice.

Is there common agreement on the greatest all time receivers?

No.

This was just one person's opinion, but it's one that I trust.

"No issue."

New vs Vintage, Rep. vs Dem., Islam vs Christianity, Tastes Great vs. Less Filling......all these arguments would pale in comparision to trying to arrive at the conclusion of this question:twak:

Borrowed the Outlaw from our dealer for the weekend. Build quality is excellent. phono is really nice. FM tuner by modern standards is quite good. If I had to go modern. I'd recommend one. I love it's sonics overall and power. I'd like a little bit warmer midrange and top end but not by much. Amazing for the price.

Are you kidding? Getting the natives here to agree on that would be like herding cats -- a great big notgonnahappen.com. And that's probably as it should be.

I resurrected this thread to say I had this/my Outlaw opened up and its built like a brick (You know what). It is a really nice modern two channel receiver. Agree, the tuner is not up the the vintage gear but the rest of the receiver is built like a Pioneer. The same general topography as the 1250. The one I have, had been thrown around the block a few times but it keeps going and sounding pretty nice. Plus it has a remote
I have to find a replacement pot that the shaft broke off. I'll take a few images of it and post them.
