OK, My big delemia. I can pick up an Acurus ACT unit cheap. IT qualifies for the upgrade from Aragon, after which it will basically be an Aragon Stage unit with all the bells and whisteles except componenent switching, which I don't use anyway. $950 for the upgrade, I will have between $450 and $500 in the Acurus. WHat to do. I have benn leaning to the Outlaw. Also unlike the others who were visiting a few weeks ago, I do not plan on using the Agagon for 2 channel (all processors suck in 2 channel including the Stage). I will continue with my 2 channel tube set up and loop over for Home Theater. THanks for any help or advice.

I don't believe that the Acurus has individual crossovers. I also know that it won't have bass management on the 5.1 analog inputs, but to be honest, I can't remember if it has 5.1 inputs? And then you to see if will have have something like the equivalent of the Outlaw CES modes, that expand 2.0 - 5.1 sources for play on a 7.1/6.1 speaker system.
