I know you can couple a 1050 with a 750 and use the 1050 to drive the rear channel in 6.1 and was curious if anyone has done this and if you can do it with the 770?

I'm looking to bump up to 6.1 as I have a matched center to my Klipsch RF-3s that I can use for the rear channel that I used with my 1050 with a direct 5.1 feed with myold DVD player (since upgraded so no 6.1).

Thoughts or suggestions?

No reason you couldn't use a 770 -- it would be just like using the 755 (since the 750 is now only available used), just with the extra two channels. You could split the surround back channel into two and let the 770 drive two surround back speakers, or you can use it for 6.1 and just leave one channel idle for now (since you already have enough speakers for 6.1) and have it available down the road if you ever need it.

Gonk is absolutely right you can. I ran my 1050 for about 3 months on a 770 with remarkable results. I'm still running a 6.1 setup with the 950, with a new 7th speaker on it's way. A word of warning though. As you can see, this is snowball rolling downhill. Once you get started, it becomes a costly addiction. A person could have worse habits though.

Good luck. The 770 is a fine amp. Heavy as hell, but that just shows the build quality the outlaws are known for!

Who am I kidding...


I just placed an order for the 950/770 combo!

Damn that extended Credit Line

That works too...

I thought to myself, I can just buy the AMP and then upgrade later...and use my 1050 in the meantime...

That would have torn me up, I know I would start looking to upgrade and would pretty much for sure gravitate back to outlaw for the 950, end up buying it and losing out on the $200 deal

I can't wait!

You won't be sorry and welcome aboard.

I hope you left enough credit line for those stocking stuffers.

As long as I get one that doesn't hiss (running Klipsch RF series all around), I'll be a happy camper!

Just a few...more...days...

The 950/770 combo seems to behave well -- so the odds are at least in your favor.

The thought crossed my mind when I see hiss posts around (several new in the last week) on other manuf. brand pre/pro and recievers.
If it wouldn't help owners of other products to try an Outlaw 770.

Smart Little Lena, I thought the same thing, I've talked with a few fold offline that have the 770/950 combo, no hiss...

I'm guessing the majority of owners with hiss run the 950 with a non outlaw amp.

My addiction started when friend of mine recommened a pair of Sennheiser headphones which I purchased thinking I was spending too much. Little did I know that my headphones would make me notice that my receiver was not very good so I bought an outlaw 1050. With the 1050 installed I noticed that my speakers were not very good. With my new speakers I am wondering if a SACD unit would be a good idea. Meanwhile I really have my eye on a 950/770 combo. Perhaps we should start an outlaw anonymous forum.

Two years ago my wife gave me one of them DVD player things. That lead me to get a 36" XBR, which lead to a 1050. Then that had to have 5 Paradigm Ref Studios and a powered sub. The 1050 had 6.1 capability, so why not 1 more studio 20, so I did. Then curiousity (ok, obsession) lead me to get an amp (750) that UPS distroyed while in their care. Soooo, I got a 770 and just couldn't pass up the savings that would be had on a 950/770 combo. Well shoot, now I have 7.1 capability! Another studio 20 is on its way. That being done, I needed to protect it all, so here came the Panamax 5300. Now I'm thinking "new rack".

You see what "my wife" started? Boy I love that gal!

A broke, but happy....Bill in Texas.

First it was an 'all-in-one' system, cassette, no CD player with Turntable...
Then an all in one system running four speakers (out of the same L and R outputs)...
Then VCR (gift from a friend whos VCR I kept borrowing)...
Then it was a $1400 SONY 'rack' system, first '5.1'..er ProLogic setup....
Then some Klipsh ProMedia 4.1s for my PC...
Then the SONY DVD Player...
Then the 32" Panasonic TAU HDTV...
Then a pair of Sennheiser 590 headphones...
Then the Outlaw 1050 and the Klipsch Reference series all around...
Then the 47" Panasonic...and the RP56 DVD player...
Then the Rear Center (all matching of course)...
Then a pair of Etymotic ER-4P (to go with my Nomad Jukebox 3)
Then the SVS 20-39PC+...


And now that I'm in a house, with cool neighbors and nothing on the otherside of my walls...the 770/950...which JUST CAME!!!

Next up? A SACD (I still have the 5 disc changer that came with the SONY rack system listed above, though I don't use it as my DVD player sounds much MUCH better), maybe another Rear Surround...maybe...RP91...perhaps bumping up my surrounds from 14 to 12 gauge...

Ah the choices, though I think that for now, I'm pretty happy just the way it is (***Wallet starts clapping!!***)

Where have I heard that before?

First, a samsung dvd player
Then a Kenwood Receiver
Then a Sony speaker (can't believe i bought this. I acutally still have it in a closet but i can't even sell it coz who the where the heck am i going to sell it.) Sony speakers anyone??? LOL
Then a Sony 5 disc cd player
Then a Yamaha Tower speakers (not like the ones that are sold at Best Buy) this one's a high end quality. I wonder how come yamaha doesn't make this kind of speakers anymore?
Then an Acoustic Research bookshelf speaker
Then an Acoustic research sub
Then Klipsch Quintets for surrounds
Then a Monster Cable Z1 speaker cables
Then a Pioneer NS-5 cd/receiver in one
Then another AR bookshelf speaker
Then a Sennheiser HD210 headphone

Subscription to Stereophile mag ( which i didn't understand at first ) Cool mag but the reviewed stuff are too freaking expensive. You'll see What this magazine did to me. Moving on

Then an AMC 24/96 cd player
Then a Sennheiser HD535 headphone
Then a Pioneer Elite Integrated amp
Then a PSB Alpha Mini speakers
Then a MIT T3 interconnects
Then a Paradigm Micro speakers
Then i learned something called isolation/vibration so i bought Vibrapods
Then a Grado Labs SR80 headphone
Then a MIT T4 speaker cables
Then an Acoustic Energy Aegis One
Then a Paradigm CC 170 v3
Then Kimber PBJ interconnects
Then Kimber 4TC speaker cables
Then a Sony 51" HDTV
Then an Audioquest YIQ-1
Then a PS Audio Power Port...now i am upgrading my entire system again...i can't freaking stop. This is acutally an addiction.

I cancelled Sterophile and went for Sound and Vision which is much so much better. Also subscribed to Audio Video Interiors which led me to decide to fix our basement (and that's what i am doing right now).

You people see what media is doing to us.
Now i'm always broke hey but i'm happy but never contented :*...what's next a new reciever and a universal player. Someone stop me! i can't stop buying.

But most of all thanks to the technology called "internet" coz with it i could not have known anything about Audio and Home Theater. I think i'm goin to cry

With this level of response, it sounds like a good idea.
In my situation, without the funds and very un-impressionable wife whose eyes are going to be permanently rolled to the heavens in the not-so-distant future, I haven't had the chance to put togehter the kinds of systems described here, but I think I started out very well indeed with 1050 and a AR HC6 set-up.
I think a SVS sub is in the future...
But as a wise man once said (Oscar Wilde?):
