Based on the previous posts, music only is the direction he is heading. I have not heard of anyone using tube amps for home theater...although anything is possible!
My experiences with the Outlaw are not as positive as some people have posted. As a musical piece, some of the brands provided would outclass the Outlaw. You are correct that if HT is a future requirement, it should be on his list. However, some of the brands listed , NAD, Rotel, do offer HT capable products.
It simply comes down to what the original poster has on the want list.
