rockhound Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 sweet I loved the 2150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzannucci Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Very interesting for the price. Got the email yesterday also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhain1969 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 When I read this review (http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/306outlaw/), sometime ago I was skeptical but further reviews online showed the 2150 to be the "real-deal". Cannot wait to see review(s) on the 2160, as I'm in the market for just such an item! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Lima Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Despite a lack of an onboard DAC, I seriously considered the 2150, until I happened upon my Bel Canto. Yet this one I find rather intriguing. It's quite a bit of very good kit for the money. I'd love to know what DAC chip it uses. My one major criticism of the RR 2150 is its looks, which I find downright fugly, amateurish and tacky. The knobs and buttons of the 2160 are a little nicer, which slightly softens its appearance. But it's still the same graceless mess of hackneyed, pseudo-retro touches, lopsided proportions, and poor ergonomics. Outlaw should've gone in a much more elegant direction with its design.

Can't agree more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2434 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think they should offer it in black too. I think that would soften the aesthetics a bit and could approve its appeal. For the money, it seems like a nice combination of power and features. Adding multiple digital inputs is a big plus vs. the previous version, IMO. I see this as a great unit for folks that want a step up from lower cost mass-market stuff, and want everything in a single chassis for space and simplicity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakedmb Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I wish it had a walnut case option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLB3 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I owned an RR2150 and have nothing but praise for this unit. Looks like the 2160 is a step above. Outlaw provides very, very high "bang for the buck" products. I would love to have kept the RR2150 (I bought a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II integrated amp. What a FANTASTIC piece of equipment!), but did not have the room for a second system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
