Please help with selecting an AV receiver

If you're really going to go with a receiver v. a separate 5 channel amp and processor, then look into the Outlaw Audio receiver for about $600 or so. Everyone raved about this piece a year or so ago.

Check out harmonaudio.com They sell refurbished with full factory warranties! By the way, do you really think that these 2 units are comparable in quality? The HK may have more junk but at what cost?

Hi, Sara (Sc53). It's been some time since I've seen you post here. Must be the day for it: Cornfedboy (aka Kelly) posted either today or late yesterday, for the first time in some months.

Your suggestion about the Outlaw receiver is a very good one. I recently had a chance to listen to one that is owned by a friend, and I was very impressed by its performance relative to its cost. For someone who definitely wants to go with a receiver, I haven't heard anything better at twice the price.

The Denon is a much superior product to the HK and may be less expensive used. I would also suggest you look at a Marantz SR-18ex(or SR-19ex) used if you have the chance.
