Hello David
I have a friend with an Outlaw 1050 65wpc surround receiver teamed with a pair of M60-like Michaura M665s, a modified Axiom made Merak MC6H center (2x6.5" Axiom drivers and a horn tweeter) and a pair of M22 like Michaura M55s. Sounds terrific. I've heard this system in a large high ceilinged home on top of a mountain at about 4000' and the same system in a low ceilinged but large carpeted room in a house on the beach. (same system)
I have another friend with the exact same speaker compliment, but with an Outlaw 970 processor and a bunch of Outlaw 200 watt monoblocks. Sounds sad ... as in bad.
Go figure. If it were me, I'd check out whether the new Outlaw receiver uses the same amps as the monoblocks ... if the answer is 'yes,' I'd pass.
