jperrewe Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Looking at these two used 5 channel amps. Can get the Carver AV 705 for less money, but have enough for the Outlaw 750. Both have good reviews. Like to hear what the forum has to say if the choice was yours. Maybe other 5 channel amps in this category.

ShapeShifter Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I have an Outlaw 750 and do like the amp very much. You get a lot of amp for the money. I have used it with RF-3 Series and liked the sound very much. I'm presently using it with Heritage speakers. It's 165W X 5 is enough to drive any Klipsch speaker to insane listening levels. I would describe it as an amp that produces very smooth detailed non-fatiguing sound, and is also very musical. It serves me well for music or HT. I have not heard the Carver amp.

Audible Nectar Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Count me in as another satisfied Outlaw 750 owner - I use it in a Heritage HT as well, with excellent results. Built like a tank, runs cool, sounds great in HT and 2 channel. I've not heard the Carver either. I'm only guessing at what you are spending, but in this general range, there are quite a few Acurus 200x5 amps floating around too - and might be had for similar dollars. It's worth a look. ------------------ First we Rock, then we Roll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jperrewe Posted March 23, 2002 Author Share Posted March 23, 2002 Thanks Guys, I have been planning on buying an Outlaw 750, the Carver AV705 thing just popped up. Saw a couple for sale, checked out some older reviews and seemed like a good buy. I have also reserved the Outlaw 950 pre/pro. Who knows when that will show up. Any way, with Carver being out of business, I'm will more than likely become an Outlaw. Athough, Carver has some ex-tech employees who started their own repair business to support their products. (Pretty Cool).
