A friend of mine has the Outlaw 1050 receiver, and I have listened to it for about 10 hours. In my opinion, it is every bit as good as the reviews have said -- infact, I do not think it is accurate to call the Outlaw "mid-fi". It provides a good taste of entry-level high-end audio, and is (again, IMO) a terrific value. Based on my experience with the 1050, I think it is a signficantly better receiver than all but the most expensive Sony, Denon, etc., receivers.
Bear in mind that because Outlaw sells direct to buyers via the Internet, there is no retail markup. If they were selling their products through a retail dealer, their prices would be roughly doubled.
