I am looking for a 5 channel amp to support my yamaha 2500.
I done alot of reading and wanted some input on a new outlaw 755 or a used aragon 2005. Both priced about the same. Any input would be appreciated.

I have lsi9's-lsic-lsi7's.

Thanks

    Why not find a used Outlaw and save some dough? They don't come up for sale on a regular basis, but I bet the wait would be worth it.

    Can't say much about the Aragon at this point, especially with the LSi's.

    For me 'used' is just as good as 'new' if the previous owners have taken good care of the equipment. Something about getting a good deal on used is a good feeling even if I could have bought new. My dvd player was bought new (closeout) because of all the moving parts involved with them.

    Audiogon has tons of equipment and I've purchased there a couple times before with no problems. The guys on their forum somewhat "police" the area, sort of like what happens here.

    Try the flea market on this site. Super people and rarely does anyone have a problem. Good luck in your search. You can always use two stereo amps and a third mono or three stereo amps with one bridged to mono or five mono blocks or bi-amp
    sorry.
    Good Luck, Phil

    Thanks for the reply's. Maybe i will just keep searching the audiogon and the flea market. It is always a good thing to save a couple of bucks for the next piece of the puzzle.
    5 channel vs 3 vs 2 is soooo brain racking.hehe
