dloc13 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I bought this receiver from Rockhound recently. The receiver works great, however I came upon a Classic Marantz receiver and I plan to use it as my main. The receiver is in fantastic condition and works great, comes with remote and manuals.

Wardsweb Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Wow, I have been looking at this very receiver on Ebay and the Audio Asylum Trader. I am driving back from the Klipsch Pilgrimage. I'll check back when I get home this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 The three people who have posted previously have owned this unit. You are selling after a couple months. You bought it from rockhound, who owned it a few month. He got it from silversport. I don't know how long he owned it, but this begs the question why this receiver keeps selling after only a few months of ownership? Feel free to PM me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good question that has been answered by 2/3 of the owners. "The receiver works great, however I came upon a Classic Marantz receiver and I plan to use it as my main." "I have recently sold those and have no further need for this great Stereo Receiver. It is in flawless condition and includes remote." I was in line for this very receiver, the last time it was offered. It comes with great reviews: One example Not really trying to answer someone else's question, but...I know that I have bought and sold (sometime with remorse) equipment that I really wanted, enjoyed and then passed on. Tonight I sold a Luxman amp, and I might regret it. I just can't keep it all. Love the experience, but there is a blonde or a redhead with long hair or short hair with large or small woofers that I have to try. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the Heresy, did he no longer have speakers or he did but prefers another amp over this one? I don't want to be just another guy buying only to turn around and sell it. I am looking for a long term solution for one of my systems. All my other amps are low power tubes. I need a high power solid state amp and I like the other features.

Srinath Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Boutique makes tend to drop out of favor fast in people's minds. Take a pioneer sx1250 for example. I know of atleast 30-40 amps that will produce better quality and quantity sound on any speaker you want to try. That's just the ones I know. And I have not heard an outlaw. I would still take a 1250 (and I also am a huge Marantz fan so I'll take one of those as well - bigger the better please) Cool. Srinath.

dloc13 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 I am no audiophile. My dad gave me a turntable a few years back and some of his vinyl and i had a few vinyl from years before when i collected and then forgot about... so the new turntable had me searching for a receiver. I found the first one i saw at a pawnshop for $40, a Sansui 5000x it was great for a year or so then one of the channels started to go. I started looking around and then read a review for Outlaw and saw one from here. Since i like to deal with my peers and not ebay i decided to buy off here due to the reviews. Rockhound even gave me a personal phone call explaining the system etc. But in the back of my mind the Marantz always caught my eye. (You may be right, the functionality may be a lot better on this Outlaw). THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS RECEIVER, NOTHING. but sometimes, irrational or not, you just desire something else and for me it is the classic 70s Marantz, maybe i am ludiocrous but a want is a want. i hope this clears things up. nothing is wrong with the receiver and maybe this Outlaw is better than the Marantz 2270 i just got...i really havent had the time to dive into the Marantz yet but i do know i cannot keep both.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the intel. I totally understand. I have several pieces of SAE gear and my Dad's Pioneer system, that hold more sentimental value than dollars. Sorry for all the questions, but I tend to do a lot of research before buying. Better information yields better decisions and less flipping. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardsweb Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Looking forward to having it hooked up to a pair Mark and Daniel Maximus Mini speakers. Tiny things that can handle 200 watts RMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
