    Which Intergrated?
    Hi Folks,
    I am thinking of starting a second system, strictly a 2.1 system. What I need is an integrated amp/ receiver. I would like to keep cost at $500 or less. Refurbs or used is fine with me. I have heard good things about the Cambridge 640A V2 (which I also bought before but went with a refurb NAD 6.1 receiver), the Onkyo A9555, and the Outlaw 2150, (which was listed in a previous thread, as good, but had only a few opinions). Or if there is something else out there I should also consider? Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.
    The speakers I will be using are:
    Wharfedale EVO 10'
    Paradigms Titans
    AV123 Onix LS's
    Infinity Beta 20's
    Bic 62's
    (Only one pair at a time, I do like switching things around to a different pair now and then)
    the sub is:
    Energy EWS-8

    Thanks again.

    Trends TA-10.1 if you plan to use it in a relatively small room. Just don't plug in the wrong power supply:frown2:

    Those are all good choices. The Outlaw has bass management and a tuner with plenty of power (the most of the three listed). Its gotten good reviews, plus it looks cool!.
    People also really like the Onkyo, but you can't go wrong with any of those you listed.

    It's a tough call. I like the looks of the Outlaw too, and bass management is a big plus.
    I heard I just missed their sale, they had it for $499 ending 4/20.
    Everyone who has owned an Onkyo, has been very happy with it. I wonder how they hook up the sub, thru the tape out maybe?
    I only seen a few reviews from actual owners, a few here in the review section, and one on Amazon. All were favorable.

    Check out the Outlaw forum and see what other people say about the 2150. Outlaw is supposed to have very good customer support.

    The Outlaw comes with a remote control, usb input, phono input and headphone jack. It would be my first choice in that price range.
