These might not be too far away: Monos in NY And would work well with: Denon 2106 or similar.

Well the HK AVR7300 is history. So now I have a choice. I can keep my HK AVR335 which I got open box for reallllly cheap....
The current setup is HK AVR 335 with 2 Outlaw 2200's for the M80's. Everything else is direct from the HK.
It sounds fine...but the volume is down to -8 to get some sound...hehehe. Some tuning may be required.
Do I keep this receiver and add some more Outlaws or just upgrade the receiver.
I have one video source..my dvd player that goes directly to my projector...so video switching is not essential...
Any advice...BUGBITTEN...chime in anytime.

Tarun, if it "sounds fine", there doesn't appear to be a compelling reason to do anything. The volume setting isn't of any particular significance.

I have to agree with JohnK here. If it sounds good, then you're there.
If your compelled to spend some bucks, add a mono to the center channel (the one that gets the most workout). Or, a nice 3 channel for the fronts.
If the HK isn't getting too warm from your listening levels, you've found the right mix.

I agree with JohnK also...and Bug.
Here is where I am headed. I think having amp's as a permanent solution and a low end receiver for processing is a wise decision.
I am considering adding some more Outlaw Mono Blocks to the mix so as to be able to switch receivers without worrying about power, and or output levels.
I already have 2 2200's for my fronts, perhaps one for my center would do it. The rears (4x qs8) can run from most any receiver without too much of a power draw.

If you are looking for an inexpensive receiver, there is a brand new Marantz 4600 HT receiver (silver) at link for $269.99. It has the full 3 year factory warrantee. I have the 4500 (last year's) receiver, and it's very easy to use, including the universal remote that comes with it. Just a thought! Martin
