I'm new to good audio and to the Ascend forum. Looking to buy a good two channel receiver for pair of Sierra-1 speakers (which I plan to order). My choice narrowed down to NADC720BEE or Outlaw RR2150. Leaning toward the NAD because it just looks and feels simpler, and that appeals to our personal aesthetics and values.
Any advice? My original budget for receiver and speakers was $1000, but since I'm devoted to spending almost that much on the Sierras, it looks like the budget's going to be closer to $1500, unless anyone can tell me that I'd do just fine with a cheaper receiver like the Onkyo TX8522? Thanks!
