Outlaw RR2150 Review

by Josh Ray, Mar 13 '06

Another Monday, another update from Stereophile. Taking a look at certifiable budget gear, Stereophile gives the $599 Outlaw RR2150 receiver some love:

With its front-mounted minijack and rear USB port, it makes a great intro to hi-fi for a younger generation weaned on iPods and MP3s.

Appealing to the younger generation is always good. The RR2150 goes with retro fab styling and packs in as many goodies as possible including 100 watts, tuner, USB, phono and more. Purchase direct from Outlaw's site.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Chord SPM 14000 Ultimate monoblock amplifiers win a "best of the best of the best" verdict for great sound and insane amounts of eye candy. Price? $75,000. Yeah, not for the younger generation.

Well, this represents a significant introduction of a crossover product; that is a capable, AFFORDABLE, networkable and great-sounding foundation for a rockin' sound system for a dorm, apartment or even dedicated 2-channel home stereo.
This is exactly what the audio industry needs more of if it ever hopes to attract a younger audience. This is a fully modern design with a retro appeal. Perfect.

Uh, I meant the Outlaw, not the Chord.

A pair of CHORD SPM 14000 ULTIMATE monoblocks are, however, perfect for your yacht if installed low in the hull - providing extra ballast for your journeys, your yacht will only go faster.
