If Dolby Prologic 2 is not important to you I would go with the Outlaw. The Outlaw 1050 is one of the best recievers I have owned. It was a perfect match with my Paradigm Reference 60's. I would have kept it but I needed Dolby Pro-Logic 2. If Outlaw came out with a new reciever with all the bells and whistles I think I would sell my Denon 3803/HK Signature combo. Anyhow, you could try the new Denon and if your not happy with the sound add an external amp like I did.
Outlaw 1050 or Kenwood 6070? Help
I currently have a Denon 1800 AVR running Paradigm Monitor speakers and a Pioneer 45A DVD player. This set-up sounds very good but I want to try a 6.1 set-up now. I have read tons of good stuff on the Outlaw unit and some pretty good stuff on the Kenwood. The Kenwood is intriguing because of the THX Select feature and all the other bells and whistles. What I really want is a improvement in my music listing, since I now listen to a lot of DVD-Audio. I think the Outlaw will give me a better music experience than the Kenwood but is it enough to dump my Denon for, or should I keep saving for seperates? The Kenwood scares me from a quality standpoint, am I taking a step back from my Denon for some added features? Any help would be most appreciated as I am hot to do something (this upgrade bug is a awful pain).
