Go to u bid and buy a $1200 plus receiver which will be in your price range it beats paying 700 for a 700 receiver. I doubt if the Outlaw will beat the NAD for sound so you need to step up to something wtih a higher MSRP so buying used or getting a deal on a better unit is the way to go.
Best A/V Receiver Under 700
I have a modest home theater set up in a small extra bedroom, with an NAD 760. I have not been particularly impressed with the NAD 760 for two channel audio. I was thinking of the Outlaw 1050, or perhaps picking up used amp and processor separates (although I would prefer to keep the equipment down to a minimum to save space, even if the cost is comparable). This system will include three Tyler Acoustics Taylo Reference Monitors for the front and center. I will add the rear channels at a later date. Speaker cables are DH Lab Silver Sonic Q10. How about some opinions on the best solution at a modest price. Thank you for your help.
