THX, I am sure that the demographic for my "ideal" Outlaw amp would be small. I would also expect that a 5 channel version of the 7125 would also not generate a lot of customers. If you scale the 7125 cost down to just 5 channels you have a $700 amp with "only" 5 channels. I bought my 7125 back in 2008 and only use 5 of the channles in my HT. However, about 6 months after I bought it, the surround left channel went out. I swapped over to the spare channel and kept on like that for about 6 months until I bought the 7500. I put the 7500 in the system and sent the 7125 back to Outlaw for some TLC. Having that spare channel really made life easier for those 6 months. I like the idea of having 2 spare channels for zone 2 duty or Bi-amp duty if needed. I am using those two channels for whole house duty at the moment as I have them feeding a speaker switch box that I can use to power multiple speakers around the house.
