Thanks,

I found the thread about 5 minutes after posting. I guess my real question is compairing the NAD S series to the Outlaw. My local dealer is waving a pretty good deal in front of my face. (It's street is 7K, he's quoted me 4K for the set). I liked the Rotel, but felt that the Silver was a little more detailed..at least to me. Then again I was looking at a price jump of $1,500. I've basicly coming from the standpoint of "Yes, it may cost me a grand more, but I dont EVER want to buy another piece of audio equipment for the next ten years."

That's why I'm trying to get a taste of what other people who have tried these combos. I liked the fact that the OUtlaw and Rotel were basically interchangeable sonicaly. That does help alot. The big question is will the Outlaw hold the same ground with the silver, which was a little more...relaxed...to me.

I also listened to a few Mac systems...but

A. they were to expensive, and I cant justify THAT MUCH MONEY on my system
B. The sound, while detailed and seperate, felt a little to...thick to me. The sound and tones were just to "close" to one another.
