I have used Outlaw products in the past (the 950 and the 770) as well as purchasing the Marantz 5005 as an updated pre-amp to trplsvr the 950 and found the products more than satisfactory and the support stellar. I also have no need of atmos so on paper the 976 should fulfill my needs providing the answers to my questions are in the affirmative. Perhaps I should call Outlaw directly.
