Bought an Outlaw Model 7125 Amplifier

Man, this thing ain't that big, but damn it does not move around easily...

Sells for $999 + S&H at Outlaw, I got it for $740 shipped from a guy on Amazon. 5 year warranty has been transferred over to me, and it was originally bought in mid October 2013. Not too jazzy, but looks nice, definitely built like a tank. The internal shots do not do the transformer justice, the damn thing is huge. I'll get setup tomorrow and rerun Audyssey, just don't feel like messing with it tonight. I hurt my shoulder a couple of weeks ago, and this think ain't no fun to push around.

51 pounds. That's nothing My Parasound weighs 80 and my Rotel weighs 75 (Both 5 channel). My Lexicon is a little more than 50. Let us know once you get it set up.

Yeah, this is of course 125x7, the dang 200wx7 is 91lbs. Crazy.

Here are some shots, got the shelf remounted and wires ran this morning. Just need to put the backing on the stand and all is done. Will run Audyssey after we get back in a bit. The Marantz on top is not ideal, but its the best I got and one good thing about the Marantz, it looks classy.

Looks nice except for wrong the college logo to be showing!

 

[gadgtfreek]

Ha! Not gonna be Auburn, and I'm already married to a damn Bama fan!

Thing sounds great and does not get too warm. It amazed me when I had a cheaper less powerful amp a little while back how actions scenes with gunshots, music, etc... seem to have more clarity with the amp. This one is no different, best sub $1000 purchase I may have made.

Nah, That's the SF 49ers.

You laugh if you knew how many people came over and got that wrong! Granted I am a niners fan, but thats not a niners logo!

 

[teachsac]

Hence the wink.

I know, just wanted to make sure everyone else understood. Its a pet peeve!

Kinda like Atlanta Braves fans that think they started the tomahawk chop...

Got the Denon X4000 in and set up, I was able to exchange my Marantz for it. Marantz styling is great, but the limited porthole display is not as nice as the full screen on the Denon/Onkyo IMO.

Setup was easy and XT32 went off without a hitch. Sound is good, seems to be working just fine with the Outlaw.

I always liked the plain vanilla front of the Outlaw amps plus they are made in California by ATI. I was looking at the 7900 but ended up with an Emotiva XPR-5 instead, which was slightly better on paper and Emotiva is just a short drive from where I live. I'm set on power now with my 5 main speakers powered at 400 watts each with the Denon powering the rest. The Emotiva weighs in at 107 pounds and the Denon AVR is around 68 pounds. One of the last AVRs to use a massive toroidal transformer that actually delivers its rated wattage with all channels driven. The toroid in the Emotiva is rated at 3.3 kV. LOL
