I am puting together my first HT. I am set on M22's, VP150 or M22 for the center, and eventually QS8's. I will have an SVS or HSU for the sub. I am having a lot of trouble deciding on the receiver. I like the sound and set up of teh HK line, and am considering the 525 refurb. I can find it around $500 on ebay. But I am also looking at the Denon 2803 and the Outlaw 1050. I have read many mixed reviews on the outalw, some very good, and some not so good. Also, they have discontinued the 1050, so I would have to wait for the new model to come out. Comments from any of these owners on how they mate with the Axioms would be great.
