I see. I've read my speakers info and they range from 89 to 93, more often from 91 to 93 dB. Not sure how this is a sign of quality or not but it seems, having read other threads, that the 7125 would power them well enough.
I have two very practical questions for you Gonk (seems you're the only "on duty" expert, or that my thread is awfully banal so nobody else is interested...or maybe this has been discussed a thousand times before :-) anyway thanks a lot again for your input)
So so,
a) if I remove the Yam, in order to connect my sub, can I find a female/female RCA adapter? because a male RCA is coming out of my Prelude, and my subwoofer cable is indeed another male RCA. Any issue with that?
b) If I were to keep the yamaha, maybe for the volume thing, or the subwoofer reason, or even the component cables "gathering" from Satellite and/or SACD dvd player (which I use rarely), is there a detrimental effect regarding sound quality to have an A/V receiver "in between" a high quality sound card, and a high quality power amp like Outlaw. If my aim is to gain power AND quality, shouldn't I remove completely the Yam or does it know how to be completely transparent?
c) have you ever heard of an electrical "blow back" effect that would fry my sound card or PC?, if I plugged the sound card outlet on the Outlaw directly? (I admit my ignorance of electronic phenomenon here :-)
