b-man1 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 both are 6.1 units...any major differences that would justify a switch from my denon 2802 to the outlaw? this isn't out of the blue. i love the denon, but may have the opportunity to sell my existing equipment to a friend and upgrade at the same time. thoughts? ------------------ SF-2 mains sc-1 center kb1.1 rears ksw-12 sub denon 2802 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 The 1050 received a lot of great reviews and awards. It reproduces music exceptionally well as well as doing a great job with DVDs. ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandern Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I wouldn't switch. To me the Denon name has alot more behind it. Plus to me the Outlaw looks cheap. Ya it may not be but to me looks also matter. I would never trade in my Denon 2802 for an Outlaw. ------------------ The 17th school is done, no more forum for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUiKSR20 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 wanna buy my sony? I know u do.. LOL i need to sell that thing.. I wonder if the Harmon Kardon AVR-220 I just got my dad would sound better than it.. Or outperform it .. Its rated 45watts x 5 vs my sonys 110 x 5 I would think the HK would be better but ill find out soon and if so off to either Denon HK NAD or Outlaw. ------------------ Thanks, Daryl Gregg MY Home Theatre Page Sony STR-DE975 HT Reciever Sony DVP-NS400D DVD SB-3 Mains SC-1 Center Quintet Rears KSW-12 Sub AR Proseries Interconects R.I.P.

soundog Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I want the best sound - I don't care what it looks like - unless it's a video product. And name brands are not the best measure of what sounds good! ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandern Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 And yes like I said, the Denon sounds great! ------------------ The 17th school is done, no more forum for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggs Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I'm an avid fan of Outlaw, I convinced my dad to get one, but I don't necessarily see it as an upgrade from a Denon 2802. The variable crossover is nice, but that's about all it has over the Denon. Sound is pretty much identical to my ears. Pretty much the same whistles and bells. If your friend offers you a good price for the Denon and you feel the need for something new, go for it. If you were just starting out and were to choose between the 2, I'd say go Outlaw. $499 (same price still, isn't it?) is a steal for a piece like that. ------------------ My hodge-podge of equipment Denon AVR-2800 KG-4 mains (too bad the rest of my speakers aren't this good) Polk C-175 center (it's ok) Infinity RS-10 Surrounds (suck) Audiosource SW-15 subwoofer (excellent sub for it's price) Pioneer DV333 DVD Sony 5 disc CD player All in a 12x12 apartment bedroom.

Roacher Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Went from 1050 to 2802. 1050 doesn't have DPL2. Wouldn't go back. DPL2 great for TV. Larry ------------------ Larry L Roach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Yes Dennon and Outlaw are comparable. Both the Outlaw 1050 ($499.) and the Dennnon 5800 ($3800) were Stereophile Guide to Home Theater Recommended Components for 2002!!! ------------------ Soundog's HT Systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUiKSR20 Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 How about how does the Harman Kardon AVR-510/520 compare to those 2? I know the 510 is only 5.1 and the 520 is 7.1 but i got the 510 now and was wondering how it compared to the outlaw and 2802.. I almost got the Denon but decided to go with the HK for the price i got. ------------------ Thanks, Daryl Gregg MY Home Theatre Page Harman Kardon AVR-510 Reciever Sony DVP-NS400D DVD SB-3 Mains SC-1 Center Quintet Rears KSW-12 Sub AR Proseries Interconects R.I.P.
