Anyone have any experience with Outlaw Amps. I was considering getting a pair of their new mono amps. The prices are decent and I definitely want to try out a direct feed from my Marantz SE CD player (has a pre built in which includes volume on the unit) right to 2 mono amps and into my M22Ti. Prices are good for their products and they have lots of punch. I would like to know how clean of a power source does Outlaw products carry due to its modest prices.

Model M200 Mono amp @ $300USD each

Power Output: 200 watts @ 8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, <0.05% THD; 300 watts @ 4 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, <0.05%
THD Signal to Noise: 100 dB (unweighted)
Input Impedance: 41k
Gain: +27dB (1.7V sensitivity) for full output
Input Connectors: RCA Jack
Output Connectors: Five-Way Binding Posts
Power Consumption:600 watts maximum/<3 watts standby
Trigger Input: 6-35 V DC 4mA
Weight: 18 pounds
Dimensions (H/W/D):1.75" x 17" x 11.5"

I haven't played with them myself because, to be honest, I find them a bit on the ugly side. Perhaps less ugly as outdated. That color green is so 80's. I realize this is a silly thing to base a purchase of this magnitude on, but it's also furniture in my current setup.

That said, I've heard terrific things about their products in general. I've seen a couple people recommend them here and on other sites as well, leaving me to believe they're good choices for not super expensive products.

Like anything in this field, my suggestion is to audition them.

I definitely wished I could audition them but that definitely is hard since they really don't do middlemen that carry their stuff. Yeah the neon green is definitely old skule. For the same price I can easily get an Anthem or a used 5 year old Krell in good condition though. But I also like its small format.

Hey, mix that green with some brushed steel and you get a cool ufo type look.
I don't mind that.
Very nostalgic.

Semi,

I think the green is more an effect of bad photography. Everything I've read seems to describe Outlaw products as grey, and they certainly don't look bad in the magazine ads I've seen...not high-end build quality by any stretch, but better-looking than Technics, JVC, etc.

Outlaw is very well regarded in terms of quality and value. Their customer service is essentially the same as Axiom's, with a money-back guarantee and a wide open online forum for feedback (positive and negative).

There are two caveats, though. First is the build quality of their products, which is one of the major "cost-cutting" areas. The aluminum boxes are supposedly not the most solid things on the Earth.

Secondly, if you are a Canadian you should know that only a few of their products are made in the U.S. (I believe the ICBM and multichannel amps). Products they sell that are actually put together elsewhere, including the M200, don't fall under NAFTA and will be slapped with major duties coming into Canada.

That's a good point fhw and one that is often overlooked.
If anyone is interested in finding out how Canadian duties are charged, head over to this website for a list of categories and rates (and info):

Chek out the quick links on the right hand side for duty and tax calculator.

Well all, I have the 950 as my pre/pro and love it. I have the M80, VP150, QS8, and custom 15" sub. I use an adcom gfa7500 amp (great deal from a dealer friend) and love the sound.

The green, well, its not a lime like lots of the pics show, more like an army green (maybe a bit lighter).

Got some pics at http://zakman19.tripod.com/ht/ht.htm

Take a look at the IRD MB100 monoblocks. I bought five for my Axiom HT setup. $1,250. They are very well built and sound incredible for the money.

They are the same amp that Norh sells as the LeAmp. I bought directly from IRD. Curt at Ird will answer any of your questions.
