Neautrality, clarity, not harsh, clean, value, and Details

no balanced input.

First of all, let me discuss my set up. Here are the components I am using to listen to these fine speakers. I have: A/V Receiver: Onkyo TXDS797 THX certified 135 watts per channel for 6 channels at 6 ohm CD/SACD Player: Sony NC650V 5 CD/DVD Changer DVD Player: Pioneer Elite DVC-36 5 CD/DVD Player (used this in this review) 5.1 Setup: Center: Wharfedale Pacific Series, Surround Rear: Wharfedale Pacific PI 10 and Main: Wharfedale Pacific PI-40 Cables and interconnects: Monster cables Reference all the way (using digital coax cable) Subwoofer: Infinity HPs-1000 (1000 watts RMS) I have the outlaw bi-amping my Wharfedale Pacific speakers. It is currently handling the mids and I have the onkyo handling the lows. The sound stage produced with the outlaw is very realistic. The voice comes out with excellent details. Instruments with this amp are well spaced. I was listening to SADE Live with this amp and played Jezebel (my reference DVD) and the results were spectacular. SADE’s voice came out with every ounce of her emotion attached. This amp is clean and quite neutral. Play bad CD and you know it is bad. Play good CD/DVD and you know you are in for a sonic treat. I was going to buy the Rotel RMB 1095 but I saw this on Ebay and decided to get it. I am glad I did. What a great value for the money!

Dynamic sound and power Tank like build quality and weight Price

Not crazy about the name(Outlaw sounds like a name brand you would find at Kmart)or the green power button

I have been using multiple NAD 2200 stereo amps to drive my home theater and decided to get one multichannel amp for reasons of conveinence(NAD's have no DC trigger and three of them take up alot of rack space). I am now using an Outlaw 1050 receiver to drive the rear center channel and the Outlaw 750 to handle the other five channels. My Swan Diva's never sounded better and I set the crossover from 80 to 60 to my SVS 16-46 PCI sub. Bass is better defined now that the Diva's are handling the 60< range and it eliminated a dip in frequency response I noticed on my decibel meter in that range also. This is a dedicated home theater room so I can not comment on the musical aspects of the Outlaw 750(although I have read that it excels in this area also)but for home theater, it gives you incredible bang for your buck. Simple operation, great sound and seriously heavy duty build quality as evedeinced by the weight. I looked and listened to ATI 1505,Parasound 1205, NAD 925THX, Rotel 985MKII and Sherwood 9080. All had their strengths and weakness's(sound,looks,price,build quality) and to me the Outlaw 750 came out on top. I looked and listened to only used equipment so all of the amps had been well broken in. Prices for the used equipment ranged from $400-500(rotel and Sherwood)$700(NAD,Outlaw)$900(ATI,Parasound).

I got my used Outlaw 750 yesterday. I replayed my favorite songs and my favorite scenes from movies. The battle scenes from Pearl Harbor made me feel like I did when saw it in the theater. I actually listened to the songs instead of my equipment. John Mayer''s guitar and voice were so sweet. It was a great experience, and I''m looking forward to much more serious listening. I had been using my B&K ref 30, matched with an old Denon reciever in by-pass mode as my amp. Obviously, the Outlaw was a huge step up. Here are just a few simple, but wonderful, things I noticed immediately: First, the Outlaw had much better control of my woofers than the Denon. Again, not much of a fair comparison. I think my Martin Logan SL3''s were delighted to have such a pure, strong signal feeding them, finally. The sound never got distorted, and I like my music and movies LOUD! Something else I noticed - the soundtrack to movies, that I feel is sometimes lost behind the dialogue and sound-effects, was actually there. I love movie soundtracks, the element responsible for the emotional foundation. And they were very much present - I hadn''t noticed that with any equipment before. Finally, my roommate and I are enjoying our Hitachi HDTV projector, and we sit about 13 feet away from the screen and speakers. The Denon provided sound enough for our apartment. But he even noticed that the Outlaw filled the entire space between us and the screen with sound. It just pulled us in to the action! That''s what I''ve been looking for. Yes, the 750 is retired, but you should be able to find a pretty good deal on Audiogon or Ebay from time to time. The new 755 is $1299. I plan to bi-amp my SL3''s with the 750, and I called Scott from Outlaw and he said the 755 wouldn''t make a difference. If you can find a deal on a 750, go for it. You''ll love it, and you''ll save some money.

EXCELLENT SOUNDSTAGE,IMAGING,AND CLARITY.

GOOD,BUT NOT GREAT BASS.

THIS IS A GREAT HOME THEATER AMP,AND VERY GOOD 2 CHANNEL AMP.FOR THE PRICE OF A GOOD 2 CHANNEL AMP,YOU CAN HAVE THE SAME IF NOT BETTER,WITH 3 EXTRA CHANNELS TO BOOT.

Power, construction, value you CANNOT pass up, sound quality

Not as pretty as some others, lacks some features that I would not use anyway

I think that there has been enough things said about this amp already, But I will add my two cents now. . . I have owned this amp for some time now and I could not more pleased with it. I own fairly efficent speakers so this amp is a bit of overkill for me, but I like to listen at fairly high pressure levels and the Outlaw has never faltered. I could go on and on and on, but I think that has already been enough here!!

There are many people that sell many things direct to the consumer, and in general I dont feel that they represent value to the consumer. There are some exceptions to this, I feel companys such as Dell computer offer a better product at a competitive price. There is no other company however that goes as far as Outlaw Audio, offering a better product at a better price. . .IMHO


I would recommend this amp to just about anyone I have not had anyone who has not been blown away by it including the guys at my local Hi-fi retalier who were sceptical at first needless to say. I could have spent more money but I felt the law of diminishing returns was shouting in my ear "BUY THE OUTLAW YOU MORON!!" I am glad i listened . .
Now where is the Pre/pro guys???

No fans - no noise. Heavy beast. Power to spare.

Ugly logo, Green on/off button.

Conneced to my B&W 603's - LCR - 602's with a Marantz AV-550 pre-amp. Have to play it really loud (100+ Db) to get it warm. Loads of bottom end, clean mids, clear highs. Under normal load this amp is loafing. One of the best for the money. Looked at a Marantz SR-18, the outlaw sounded better and left me upgrade options.

Clean, involving sound, soundstage and imaging

None I am aware of or pay attention to

I wrote a review a few months ago when I had Klipsch speakers. Now I upgraded them to Castle Acoustics Howard S2 (3k+), Keep and Richmonds. Now, I can say Outlaw opened up tremendously and I can even more appreciate my investment. Especially the sound improved drastically when I bi-wired Howards with Synergistic Signature cables. The sound is amazingly good in every respect. I had also a chance to talk with people from Outlaw and my experience was more than satisfying.

Crisp detailed sound,cool running temp,great headroom,true
airy involving sound,bang-for-the buck

Wish more people were aware of this product. Alot of people are buying other products that are putting money in the pockets of the dealers, not performance in the home.

I am an automotive designer and I interact with hundreds of designers and engineers yearly in this business. I have put home theaters together (shopping prices to installation)for upwards of 30 individuals over the last few years which this alone has generated well over $100,000 into the local audio shops in my local area that I alone was accountable for (and I am not a salesman, it's just a hobby).

Why this intro? Because in my experience with all of these home theaters with budgets from $1,000 to $15,000 I have never come across a product that truly justified its price until I purhased this amplifier. I turned over alot of stones and did alot of research on not only amps in general but how they are designed, manufactured, and how to decipher analysis data (which to an average person is greek at best). I could sit here and describe all the attributes
that apply to this amplifier but it would be redundant as to what is already listed in this website.

To anyone who is reading these reviews and pondering on whether to purchase this amp or go to your local dealer and put YOUR money into HIS pocket for equipment that performs but is overpriced for what you get, I am here to tell you that this amp gives you far more performance than what your paying and will HANDS DOWN beat anything under $1,700 and give anything over that a run for its money.

I have over $15,000 worth of gear myself and looked and listened to every possible amp I could for under 2 grand (almost 20 differents amps). After all this I went with my intuition and other reviews from mags to others listed here and I am absolutely 100% satisfied with my purchase. I didn't have to listen to some "brainwashed by the rep" salesman at a store, I let my ears and wallet make the choice. Thanks Outlaw for providing an honest fine performing product for the masses!!

For all you other people going to your local dealers, I hope you enjoy watching your money on your purchase at their store go right into their car payment. All us Outlaw product owners who will be outperforming what you bought (under &2,000) will be putting the money we saved into OUR car payment, and then some!!

Fantastic build quality and outstanding sound quality

funny logo and strange power on button

I have just purchased the outlaw and in a word the unit is
wonderful. I have evaluated Rotel, B&K, Marantz and without
any question the 750 is superior in build quality and most of all sonic value is unmatched. The amp is front ended with a B&K Ref 20, which has proven to be a fabulous combination.
I'am in the process of building my home theater speakers and
can not wait to experience the dynamic sound that this outstanding amp can produce.

Excellent cooling system, superb amplification to all channels.

None.

I received the Outlaw about a week ago and I haven't stopped running it. The bass is superb and especially great with the 15" woofers I have on my JBL's. The amplifier's value is beyond belief. I would have easily paid twice as much and still have gotten a great deal. Outlaw's customer service rocks. They are the first professional company to answer my E-Mail, and spectacularly the did it in two days. I just ordedred a B&K Reference 30 preamp/processor and I am really excited to try it out with the Outlaw. If you would like a high quality preamp Outlaw is putting one out in early 2001, can't wait to try it out even though I have the B&K. My highest reccomendations to this company. I hope they keep putting stuff out because I'll keep buying it.
