If you are truly going to use multiple channels, The Yamaha MX5000 is pretty much an Outlaw 5000 but supposed to drive 11 channels!? For multi channel applications though, I don't think they would compete well with Emotiva and Monolith's 5,7 channel amps.Ĭlick to expand.I think a lot of the beauty of the M2200 is it allows you to put the power where you need it!Īlso, make no mistake, the MX5000 is nowhere near the equivalent of multiple M2200's! The Outlaw mono block is affordable, and reasonably priced even when not on sale. We all know for many movies, the center channel draws more power than any other channels on average, so it makes sense for me to use the 200/300W/8/4 ohms M2200 for the center channel, the Anthem 225WX2 for the L,R and the M8003 for the surrounds and heights. Runs cool, class G power supply does work well in this thing!! Have the music sensing feature, so I don't have to worry about triggering it. Have balanced input, though I won't be using it. Huge pan cake transformer and it is hum free, much quieter than my already quite Anthem power amp. This thing is impressive for the following reasons. I can now understand why it get recommended so often. Instead of using just 1 of 9 internal amp channels of my AVR, I took advantage of the labor day sale and grabbed an Outlaw M2200 for $299. The Outlaw Mono block M2200 and multi-channel amps, as well Monolith's and Emotiva''s seem to be the most recommended amps on this forum.įor some strange reason, I cannot find my Adcom GFA555 in the basement. As more people going beyond 5 channels, I can see the need for external power amps may also increase.
