770 or 7100

Greetings,
I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger (heh) on an outlaw but am a bit stumped as to which amp to get with it. My current system consists of a pair of b&w nautilus 805s and an NHT SW10 sub.

any suggestions?

thanks!

What do you think you will get to round out your speakers? The Nautilus 805's are rated for 50W-120W (8ohms, 88dB sensitivity), which means that the 7100 should drive them pretty well but the 770 would potentially offer a bit more headroom. The HTM2 and SCM1 are similar. On the other hand, the Nautilus HTM1 is rated for 50W-250W with a 90dB sensitivity, which might be more suggestive of going with the 770. And if you think you might pick up some larger Nautiluses for the front and shift the 805's to surround, the 770 might be a more compelling choice.

thanks gonk! I can't see going bigger than the 805s in my listening space.... Looks like I'll go for the 7100s
