Well, the Outlaw 2150 came. God bless Fed Ex, it arrived on time and with no visible signs of damage to the box. I was afraid it wouldn't make it today and I'd have to wait until Friday. :(

At any rate, I'll write a full review soon. Let me just say in a real small nutshell that I *immediately* noticed a significant improvement in sound quality over what I've been used to. The classical selections I've played show much more dynamic range and transparency (whatever THAT is, but I think I know it when I hear it!) :p

The photos show the box, waiting for me when I got home. And I tried to show the quality of the double-box packing in another photo. Then you see the receiver on the table, and on my shelf (it's a lousy photo, you can't really see the blue display very well). And then a shot of the manual and antenna, etc.

As someone said in the Outlaw hideout, photos really don't do this thing justice. The *heft* of it, how solid it is, and how apparently loaded with craftsmanship. So far, so good! :D

I just finished testing all the functions (except 'phones). One thing that really strikes me is the power.....how little the volume knob has to move to juice up the speakers (Polk Monitor 70's at this point). I guess I will hook up my little Sony sub and see how well the bass management functions.

Sweet. I wonder how the Outlaw would compare to the Marantz PM7200.
