I haven't heard either... however, I have heard from others that the Emotiva is an extremely impressive product.

They are also offering a 5 year warranty, and a %40 discount on next generation surround processors.

The Outlaw is a good unit, but will have slightly less power. If you plan on listening at really loud levels, the Emotiva will more likely suit your needs.

I also find the Emotiva is prettier to look at.

If I had to pick, I'd buy the Emotiva. I am in fact looking to purchase from them as soon as I move.
