If you ask me
the Outlaw is outdated and under powered. I would by the Denon 2802 over it any day, maybe even the 1802.
Outlaw does not have Pro Logic 2, nor 5 or 6 channel stereo. At 65 watts per channel, it is also a little shy on power.

I unforunately do not know anything about the Yamaha receiver, so I will not comment on it.

good luck!
