Advice on Stereo Receiver for Polk Rti A9

[havoc21]

Looking for some advice on a stereo receiver for a pair of Polk Rti A9s. I am looking to keep it simple with no pre-amps just the receiver and the speakers. Any advice or feedback would be great. Budget is $800.

Outlaw Audio RR2150.

Not very familiar with Outlaw Audio why would I opt for that over something like the Harmon Karden HK3770?

They are independent and are known for making high quality amplifiers. The RR2150 is as simple as it gets and you said simple, yet has a lot of good features. They haven't really made changes to the 2150 in quite a few years because it just works. If you decided to go with a sub, it has bass management too, something that most integrateds and stereo receivers don't have.

Alright, thanks for the quick response/feedback. Will definitely check them out.

HK wouldn't even be in my list of contenders these days. Plus they're out of the business altogether now, too. I like the RR2150 suggestion, too.

If you want a big name brand, I'd look at the Marantz PM integrateds or a Yamaha AS501 or AS801.
