Yeah, I decided to throw caution to the wind and pretty much go all out. laugh

The review over at A/V Rev really sold me. :p

Nice Score!

I have used the 7125 for probably 2 years now. Best amps money can buy period. Best customer support period. I use the 7125 with the r2150 now. Sick combo. Can't imagine what the 7200 will do being that the 7125 is overkill! Happy listening.....

I almost opted for the 7125, but the allure of 200W was too much. :p

I figured if I was going to spend that ($1,800) on the 990/7125 combo with a processor that is potentially going to be succeeded later this year or sometime next year, why not spend that amount on an essentially "future-proof" amp (for me at least) and wait to see if Outlaw has a new processor up their sleeve later on. I can "suffer" with my H/K AVR a little longer since in reality most of the stuff I listen to is via analog. I went back and forth a lot in choosing something, so I hope the 7200 will be all that and a bag of chips and I can be happy with my purchase. Trying to temper my expectations... laugh

I'm going to try to get the complete 7.1 set-up complete before I get the experience of breaking my back carrying the amp up the stairs. wink

Here's a (probably) stupid question:

Do the 7200's binding posts accept these bananas in a male-to-female plug insertion fashion?


(my pairs are audioquest, but are "direct-silver", both are silver)

The kind salesman that I bought my BA's from threw in 2 pairs free, even though my AVR and speakers do not accept them. Maybe I'll finally put them to good use. smile

Also, why is Outlaw's description of the 7200 kinda vanilla and why does it not have an "about" section?

I was digging around and found Outlaw's page for the 770:

Under the picture of the 770:

Quote:
With SEVEN 200-watt channels, the Model 770 powerhouse is the companion amp for our 990 Preamplifier/Processor. Audiophile quality and a low price. Subtlety just isn't in the picture.
In the 770's "about" section:

Quote:
Power --- Gobs of it: pure and simple. These days the very best home theaters use dedicated power amps. They provide more power on demand to ensure that the F-18 Hornet in the latest action blockbuster sounds like a heavily armed fighter than a paper airplane. Our Model 770 and 755 define what true high power amps really are. At 200 watts per channel, two massive Torroidal transformers and 22,600uf of capacitance per module these amps are unrivaled. The 770/755 will drive virtually any speaker in existence to reference levels, and they will do so with the authority of an F-18 and the finesse of a concert violinist. If you are really serious about your home theater don’t settle for “receiver” power, get yourself a dolly and wheel one of these amps into your system. Be prepared to hear soundtracks the way they were intended to be experienced.
Now, under the picture of the 7200:

Quote:
Our most powerful single-ended amplifier, the Model 7200 is a true workhorse. Delivering 200 watts per channel, it's capable of driving the most inefficient speakers without losing even a hint of finesse on more "subtle" recordings.
I dunno, maybe it's just me, but the 770's about section gets me fired up over it. :p

I haven't ever used those, but I'd expect them to work with any standard five-way binding post (including the 7200's). I've got some standard banana plugs in use on my 7500 and on both of my M200's.

sehnzeleid,
My speaker cables from Signal Cable came w/ these type of connectors(BFA). Minus the aq logo. They fit the 7125.
you should be good to go.
