Sunfire vs. Outlaw


I currently am running a sunfire theater grand 1 in my audio system. I mostly use it for 2-channel playback with my meridian cdp. It sounds pretty good, but I have heard that the pre/pro from Outlaw is excellent for 2-channel also. Is it time to upgrade?? or is Outlaw not as good as the sunfire. I would greatly appreciate any feedback from Outlaw or Sunfire users.

The new Sunfire sounds good for music as well as HT. The Outlaw isn't going to win any 2 channel awards and for that matter neither will the Sunfire, but I've always been a fan of Sunfire and it does sound good and a lot better than the Outlaw IMO.

The Outlaw amps are pretty decent, but remember the Outlaw processor is essentially the same as the Sherwood/Newcastle P965. Both of these are considered more as budget pieces by most and are suited more for HT. I'm not a fan at all of how the Outlaw sounds for 2 channel music. But, I don't want this to come across like I'm bashing the Outlaw to death. It really is a nice piece, I just think it's an HT piece
