First time buying an amp, need some serious help

[Davemcc]

One important detail that nobody has picked up on...the Onkyo TX-SR705 does not have multi-channel pre-outs. How is the OP going to send the signal to the amp?

Sorry for the dumb question, but will the Outlaw 2200 be compatible with a Yamaha RX-V740 receiver? I know the Yamaha has preouts for external amps but am not sure how I would go about hooking it up. Would I just plug say the left main preout on the Yamaha into the unbalanced input on the Outlaw?

thanks for the info

Amp Options

FYI,
The 705 does have the pre-amp outs. The 605, however, does not.

For a budget stereo amp to experiment with, consider a Behringer A500 for <$200 shipped to power your mains. I have the entry level Emotiva LPA-1 and also recommend their products. The amp is driving my 4 ohm Onix Ref speakers and a couple channels power a distributed audio system.

They should have the 7 channel LPA-2 and the 5x200 Watt XPA amp out in February. Looks like the XPA will be $799.

My Bad. Check this out that I used for a quick reference.

They list it as having multi-channel input. Their picture of the back panel showed one set of multi-channel RCA's but was too small to see that they had erroneously called them inputs in the description instead of pre-outs.

My apologies to all.

its all good, just was quick with the keys.. pointing out the obvious only, not flaming... note the good luck comment...

sorry for highjacking the thread guys.

No harm no foul, just trying to throw something outside the box for options. My appoligies also for the off content comments.

For a 200 wpc x 5 ch amp, you just can't beat $800! Especially coming from Emotiva.
