Thanks very much for the quick reply. You made some valid points. The LFM-1 review was exactly what I was looking for.

So one last question before I hit the "buy it now" button Would you still consider the 7700 over a 7500 with a pair of 2200's for the fronts? Power cords aren't much of an issue as I have a separate power panel with a 100 AMP service on it within 4 ft of the equipment rack. Just want to make sure I'm getting the best bang for my buck. As well, where does Outlaw compare to the Denon's and Integra's of the world? I've looked at reviews but can't find anything on this.
