There's still plenty of folks out there running only 5 channels, so I think you have a good idea, Landon. However, I think you hit the nail - "a step backwards." The fact is, the HT crowd using 5 channels is not a growing demographic, which is where the decision typically gets made when expanding the lineup. Of course, the same could be said about the 7500, but it could be that 5-channel customers are more likely to be looking for a substantial power boost from an amp.

I for one would snatch one up for my bedroom rig, should Outlaw deign it a good idea.
