<font color='#000000'>Don't have info on the amp........sorry.
But, if you have a 5.1 setup, with pre-outs, you can hook it up to make it a 6.1/7.1 system.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Man, that's a blast from the past! Scott was one of the great names in the early days of Hi-Fi, from just after WW2 into the early '70s or late '60s. Is it a solid state or tube unit?

Check out this site for some history (just found it with a Google search): H.H. Scott

Just found out that the HH Scott name is still owned by Emerson Radio. They don't make anything of audiophile interest judging from the current Scott website.</font>

<font color='#000000'>well this little pig is not a tube anyhow.....so im guessing its solidstate (whatever that means im guessing it has to do with the amplification type used)

but it defiantly has a warm and inviting sound ....im running a set of JBL CF-80's and wow ....my reciever dont sound as nice as this oldie ...lol ....and the best part is it was free ....yes ..free ...lol

anyhow yes i do have a 5.1 setup ....its a cheap sony str de585 ....(almost the same as the 595) but has clips instead of binding posts ....talk about anoying ....i need to find a way to mod in binding posts these clips are hard to use with 12awg wire .....

anyhow yes i seen both those sites ...and i found some kind of info out ..and that to buy a manual for 16.99 US ...lol and well to be honest its not worth my time .....i have a dead computer that needs more my attention ....and if anybody had any info would be better ...id like to know more of a first hand experiance as im a little green in the audiophile area ...i just know what sounds good to my ears sounds exceptionaly well to my friends :S ....they want what i got ...lol and i dont have anywhere close to high end stuff ....


ill list all my equipment down ....just so you all know what im dealing with ...lol dont laugh at least its paid for and the kids have a roof and food in there tummies ...lol and the wife is happy ... thas all a plus tho
