Thank you Gonk & Xenonman for your input. I'm going to stick with the UPA-7 for now. It looks like tank. Later when I'm ready to upgrade I'll probably go with Outlaw. I'm leaning towards Outlaw's 7200 but time will tell. Are the 7200, 7500 & 7700 series amps definitely made in the USA? I have the Model 2200 monoblocks and I saw they were made in Taiwan.

Sometimes what makes me doubt Emotiva is where certain pro reviews found an Emotiva amp (MPS-1 I think) delivering less than the 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms while in another review they found the Outlaw Audio model 7125 deliver more than the 125 watts per channel into 8 ohms. The differences weren't much in both cases. Maybe 15-25 watts which I guess isn't much...

Ugh. I think I have to stop reading reviews and just let my ears be the judge. Thx again.
