I just bought a 990/7125 and am very happy, especially for movies (still tweaking the music side of things). With the 7125 (125 WPC at 8 ohm) at $999 and the 770 at $1999, you'd have an extra grand to get the EP500 or, better yet, EP600. Sonically you'll get much better payoff than going with a more expensive amp and the EP350.

In addition to the Outlaw, have a look at this as well. 200 watts per channel. Monoblock style amps that slide into a chassis. And a few hundred less than the outlaw. Emotiva MPS-1

I agree with medic8r. Ultimate AV review of 7125 The EP500 will rock the foundations if you wish. A great addition to HT.

Yup, very similar to Axiom:
* internet-only retailer * 30-day free trial period * high-quality equipment at value prices * excellent customer support * rabid fan base complete with message boards * Easily readable manuals
Hope this helps...

Out of all the options I’ve seen here, and the budget you specified, I can tell you that your very best option that will give you the most notable improvement in sound quality would be buying the EP600. The sub alone will astound you and even though it isn’t a sealed sub, it is incredibly musical. The 500 is good, but the 600 is great. I upgraded to the 600 from the 500 and have absolutely no regrets. Get that first and then contemplate an additional amp.

…….then the 600 is amazing. I’m really liking your latest aviator there Randy. That’s my brew of choice. Ever had it at the brewery?

Yep, there are a few bars/pubs here in Des Moines that serve a great Guiness.

I work next door to a top rated micro brewery if that counts. The owner has a Dr. in brew makeing. I get free beer every once in awhile. Yeah I think Im going to go with the outlaw pre amp and amp combo, and upgrade my sub. when I get the cash to do so. I do love that 350 though. Thanks
