Try www.geocities.com/area51/hollow/3401/ratevsac.htm. This is a Stereo Review/Sound & Vision report summary. It has the D49TX at 148w at clipping for 5 channels, 144w for 6 channels. The Denon 5803 is rated 138w for 5 channels and 118.2w for 7 channels. These are all channels driven at clipping - 1khz 8 ohms .3%thd + noise. I think the new Outlaw amp will probably be rated 100-120watts so the package would compete straight with the premium receivers - Yamaha RX-Z1, etc. Pricing comparisons will be difficult as Yamaha rarely if ever is found discounted from any authorized supplier, Denon is available from 6ave highly discounted yet still authorized - 5803 is $3400, I have not checked the Pioneer Elite. The Outlaw package even with the 770 amp is a great price but may not be available for quite some time yet.
I am considering the Denon 5803 as Denon has proven that they will actually upgrade their premium receiver as they have with the 5700 and 5800. Many manufacturers promise to but have never actually offered anything more than software flash upgrades. The Onkyo 989 is another that has been upgraded several times with additional sound processing modes. This is a great feature. I would prefer to spend in the $2500 range like the Outlaw package but just can not wait forever. The new Yamaha RX-Z1 is supposed to be a nice unit but lacks all the extra bass management features of the Denon (although about $6-800 price diff).
