Yes, but I think most have inputs that can bypass the internal amp if someone wanted to upgrade. One of the reasons I go with the 950 is the flexibility of using separates. Using this same logic in subwoofers seems to make sense too.
I would also have the proposed amp controlled remotely, so you can adjust all the settings from the listening position.
Depending on the cost, a microphone and some circuitry could be added that would allow you to analyze the bass acoustics of the room.
How about doubling the M200 to an M400 and adding the controls to it. I don't think that would be too hard to do and there are a lot of DIY'ers out there that would love it. Or Outlaw could just make the control part of it and supply a larger amp separately. I see many people that buy ICBM's have other non-Outlaw equipment. This would be a niche product, but pull in the DIY'ers out there because they have a similar philosophy as we Outlaws.
I mean, think about this: Why can't you buy a subwoofer amp that is not in the shape of a flat panel?
