ok...so around black friday time I was going to purchase a new amp to hookup to my tv.

Basement tv room and simply want a 2.1 setup. Have a dvd player and stream tv as well. Have def Q 100's and posted

on the sub forum regarding the emo subs.


Want to go with the NAD c328 as it's simplicity seems to fit the bill. Was also considering the Onkyo 9150, and wondered if anybody here has

heard either of these two amps ????

Buy the Onkyo, it's easier to get fixed.

Another possible choice would be Emotiva.
They make an inexpensive receiver and if you want to buy an amp, a tuner-preamp, as well.
For a PREMIUM 2-channel receiver (receiver includes FM tuner) the OutLaw RR2160 would be a good, longlasting choice.

Jan... why do you say the Onkyo is easier to get fixed ?

Saw this article on the onkyo

NAD has always been more of a PITA to get fixed.

The Outlaw is a good choice for 2 channel. It has a dedicated subwoofer out.

Thank you Jan. The outlaw is out of my price range. It really is between

The nad c328, onkyo 9150, or the Yamaha 501.

Buy the Onkyo - or a used/refurbed Outlaw.

'b' stock Outlaw doesn't save THAT much $$$. Unfortunately.

I'd be thinking more long-term value and thinking the Outlaw will be around after you are done with the NAD, Onkyo or Yamaha.

I can see the Outlaw ending up as a 2nd or 3rd room system 'center'.

I'd be thinking the Outlaw will still be worth the same in five years as it is today because it will still be working.

For Pete's Sake, Jan, we're gonna have to stop Agreeing.

You bet. Outlaw should retain value very well indeed. It's prior model, the RR2150 was made for maybe 8 or 10 years essentially unchanged.
Even a change in factory where it was made, and a subsequent Stereophile RETEST didn't change anyones generally good opinion.

If this were 'Consumer Reports', it'd be a 'best buy'.
