I generally agree with you that seperates will out peform receivers, however I do think that some very high priced receivers will hold their own against some of the lower priced seperates. But other than convience, I cannot understand why someone would buy a $4000 Sunfire when they can purchase a 950/770 for almost half that price. Maybe its the easy of upgrading that justifies the price, or maybe they aren't aware of the Outlaw equipment. You raise a question of headroom, do you know the headroom of the Outlaw 770? I have not found a review that measured Watts Output at clipping, most only list Outlaw's published spec.
