I'm at a point right now that an amp upgrade would be my next step. Will use my Denon AVR2802 for now. Not sure how much power I need 100-125-150-175-200 watts
My speakers are:
Mirage OM-7 Fronts 30Hz-20KHz @ 6 ohms 90db
Mirage OM-C2 Center 38Hz-22KHz @ 8 ohms 91db
Mirage OM-R2 Sides 80Hz-22KHz @ 8 ohms 90db
Mirage OM-C3 Rear 40Hz-22KHz @ 8 ohms 91db
I can run my rear channel out of the Denon at this point I have thought about getting something used but I'm leery about that i.e audiogon etc. My budget is no more than$1,500 What would you check out even if it is not the Outlaw products

You could probably get some excellent performance using an Outlaw 7100 (100Wx7, $900). If you want to have deeper power reserves, you could consider an Outlaw 755 (200Wx5) and a single M200 to give you 200W all around for $1600, but the 7100 would probably cover your needs very well for a good bit less than your budget limit.

If I were in your position I'd purchase 2 M200's for your OM-7's and then buy a 755 or a used 5 channel amp off of Audiogon. I've had nothing but good experience using Audiogon.

I'm going to revise my advice after some research. I didn't realize that a B-Stock 770 can be had for $1550. Silas, trust me on this one, include a 770 B-Stock in your budget and don't look back. I use a 770 to drive 6 ohm/89db Nautilus 804's all around and it doesn't get any better for the money.

Thanks I might go for the 750 b stock & I can return it if I do not like it, but there is where the problem comes in I have really nothing to compare it with. I'm sure my denon does not even come close
