Thanks Mark, I'm in a debate between the outlaw rr2150 or an old marantz like the 2270. There is a guy on ebay who refurbishes marantz products so i think the marantz would be in good condition, but i am tempted to go for something new. Do you think the rr2150 would compare to the marantz in...

How about Large Advent Speakers with Marantz 2270? I listen to mostly 60's soul so i think vintage equipment might be better. Would this be better than going with newer components?

Hello, I currently have a technics SLB 210 belt drive turntable, a crappy onkyo amplifier and some measly $30 sony speakers. I am ready for an upgrade. I am thinking about getting some Usher s-520 speakers, an outlaw retro 2150 and maybe hanging on to my turntable. My budget is 1500-2000...
