Metalarron - I'm definately liking the prices of the used HK's I'm seeing around.

But, I am getting worried about the audio dropout issue talked about at avs - has anyone over here had any problems like this?

azanon - I do agree with you, I'll defiantely be spending most of my money on the speakers, but I'm getting that "feature creep/price creep" feeling where I keep saying...oh what's another $50....and oh...that one's only another $100..hehe. I've been finding myself looking at pricier HKs :P

Ed - I think the new Outlaw is going to be out of my pricerange, as great as the unit sounds. It does make me drool....

Well, in summary I'm liking the look of a used Outlaw 1050, or a refurb HK 230 (maybe 330?). Now, I have to figure out the differences between them. I am worried about the HK audio problems, but I'm in the middle of reading about it right now. Does anyone have any comment on that avs thread?
