LOL...... See, I told you it was a dumb question. Here, I'm thinking it was some kind of audio term I wasn't aware of! Will let you know what happens. BTW....... after spending quite a bit of time doing more research, I've decided to go along with your advice and do the Outlaw combo. While...

Dumb question..... What, exactly, do you mean by "a good "punch" to the receiver"?

BTW....... Also on the Outlaw page........ That "Retro" receiver. Love that thing! Wish that was a 5.1 receiver. It has EVERYTING else I was looking for and I'll bet it rocks.

It's a powered sub....... 100W Model SP212W. The fronts are Cerwin Vega AT-8's. I have a pair of JBL J2050's that I have always used as my "B" speakers. Bought those all LONG before surround sound was an option! My surround speakers are a pair of Audio Source LS-300's. They were a cheap buy...

OK...... I found the manual. Don't know how I missed it before. Now it makes perfect sense to me. I think this is exactly what I need. What do you use for an amp? Do you just use a 7 channel amplifier or a receiver with multi channel in?

I could not find the PDF manual, or any other such info, on their web site! I'm curious as to how the outboard processor is integrated with the receiver/amp. Never used an outboard processor like this and want to see how I would integrate all my components, most importantly the EQ, into the...

What do you think of this one? http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=TX-NR636&class=Receiver&source=prodClass

The Outlaw piece looks interesting. Not much info on their web site. Was hoping they would have wiring diagrams. How does it interface with the receiver?

Wow...... can't believe it has been 6 months! Anyway...... finally getting back to this with the info you had requested: OK, here's what I currently have in the system: - Sony STRDE597 receiver (what I would like to replace) - Technics SL1500 turntable with an outboard phono preamp - Pioneer...

Sorry I haven't responded....... things got crazy at work and then had a death in the family. I will get the specifics out to you guys soon

Yeah, I have not found a surround sound receiver with pre-outs. Any such receiver that I did find with pre-out/direct-in was a higher end system and would require outboard surround sound processing. Just trying to keep it simple, but I like being able to tweek my sources differently with a...

Does anyone manufacture a surround sound receiver that either has preamp out/direct in, or still has a tape monitor loop? I hate the pre-set EQ settings on receivers and there is no easy way to incorporate an EQ into a system without. I have found receivers (w/o surround processing) that do...
