thanks a lot Ken and Jc.

i just wrote Outlaw to ask if the warranty is good in Canada and, if service has to be done in the future, whether i will have to send it back to them or to a local Marantz service center.
their answer will determine what i will do.

P.S.:one thing that impresses me is their specs on the built-in amps; this kind of honesty is not seen very often for this kind of equipment.

their answer will determine what i will do.
