Now I did talk with Outlaw , tried there sugestions on the power outlet, speaker wire,and a few other sugestions. Well I sent the 7125 back got the 7500 and haven't looked back. The 7500 is the ticket for me. Good luck!!!
That's interesting. I have the B&W DM604 speaers, which is almost the same as the 603, and my 7125 get warm, but never so hot that you can't touch it. Since I'm looking to upgrade my speakers to the B&W 804S or Paradigm S6, I was thinking about replacing the amp with the 7500 for more power and using XLR.

I had the same experience as New Shooter with the 7125 getting hot. The 7500 has ran much cooler and sounds better to me. Good luck.

FAU guy , we think alike I too want to test drive the Paradigm line of speakers as well. The B&W's are awesome speakers and I'am very happy with my set up. I did go with Outlaw balanced cables and I heard a bit more detail in my media aswell as a bit of volume gain. I was more than happy using the Outlaw PCA cables but ran accross a deal on the Outlaw balanced cables on Audiogon!!! Keep up the great work Outlaw!! I'am spreading the word here in Arizona. Thanks!!

New Shooter, We have very similar audio systems. My 7500 has never been hot to the touch. Maybe a tad warm after being cranked for a while. The sound is awesome. Dead quiet background, great dynamics. I use the balanced cabling and never tried the system the other way so I can't compare. Best sound system I've ever had and that includes my high end stuff from the 70's. Maybe it was better sounding from a purist sense back then, but now that my ears are 50+ they aren't as good as they used to be. I'm very happy.
