I know that I need more power to properly serve the speakers. A woofer on one of the fronts recently blew and I am told probably from being underpowered. I had not heard of underpowering these causing damage. I planned to get two Outlaw M200 amps for the fronts and leave the center and surrounds powered by the receiver. Will this work well?

Power: Monster 2600 power conditioner

    Why not get a multi channel amp and do right. The Outlaw 7100 could be used to bi-amp your 9's and drive the rest of your speakers as well.

    I talked to the guys at Outlaw today and said I was considering the M200 or the 7100. After describing all the particulars they suggested getting the M200's, especially with a room size of 40' x 25' x10'. I will get two for the fronts and leave the center on the Yamaha receiver.

    I believe the volume went to +6. Under speaker level the fronts are set to what would be a 7 on the slider display. This is how the YPAO configured things.

    Last week I was fortunate to find someone at Audiogon with 3 Outlaw M-200 amps. They are a year old and I got them for $615 delivered. They just arrived today and even came in the original boxes. Now that my LSI's are being fed well all should be ok.
