I am purchasing the Outlaw 7700 in June at the Home Theater show in LA. I currently have a Yamaha 3300 receiver and to some people 100 watts is a lot of power but that is not the problem. The problem is that as I am listening to a friends' 200 watt Rotel I noticed that there are many dynamics in 2 channel stereo that I am missing, and the movies wow!!! So it is not just power.
I am undeceided about whether or not to buy a processor. Buying the 7700 is biting off a lot of cash, But I know that it will be worth it. Should I keep the Yamaha and use it as the processor or would there be a noticable difference with either the 970 or 990. Finally, is it necessary to have a separte power line for the 7700. I have a dedicated Home Theater room and have my equipment running thru two monster surge protectors. Can I use the same outlet? At 15amps?
Thanks,
