Emotiva Basx-A700 Vs Outlaw 7125 7 channel

[dafirst]

Good day fellas. I am in the process of changing my amplifier and don't want to break the bank. I was advised to go for Outlaw as they are good amps and has lots of headroom as compared to some more expensive ones. I suddenly tumbled on Emotiva Basx-A700. I read pretty good reviews on it as well. I have used the UPA-500 and very pleased with it. Is there anyone who has experienced both bands even if not the same models to advise me? My speakers are Klipsch RP-280F. I know they are sensitive but want to get a better amp for them.

I have not used either one. Based on available specs, the Outlaw seems better. S&V bench tested the Outlaw.

The Outlaw 7125 amp is made by ATI. So definitely get the Outlaw.

In case you don't know, ATI makes some amps for a lot of companies (Mark Levinson, Lexicon, Carry Audio). ATI also owns Theta Digital and B&K.

How much is each dB of headroom worth to ya in dollars?

The Outlaw 7125 is discontinued. If the OP can find one, he should pick it up fast.

The Outlaw 7125 has been replaced by the Model 7140, with a power rating of 140 watts/ch at 8 ohms. This represents close to only ½dB more power than that of the 7125.

$1100 for the 7140 vs $600 for the A700....not really an apples to apples comparison either in power or price...
