Thanks for the response. I have a monster powercenter 3500, which the amp is plugged in the swiched outlet of the powercenter. The hum I hear is only when I'm by the amp. I might try powering up the amp thru my preamp 12 volt switch. Might give outlaw support a call

The amp sounds very good, not as smooth as the B&K a little more in your face. For the price, the 7500 is hard to beat.

About 2 years ago I had an xpa-5 and compared it to the m2200's and imo the xpa-5 sounded brighter.
