So Fed Ex lost a 70 lb box with my adcom 7700 in it... :-(

Now I have to go hunt for a new amp... I'm bummed, I passed up many options on ebay and audiogon waiting 3 weeks for this thing...

so.. 800 is my budget max..rti10 front csi5 center and rit6 surround
My new thoughts are, I was seriously considering a new outlaw model 7075 for $700. It is only 75 wpc but...

I am currently running an adcom 5400 for my fronts and the center off of my onkyo705 receiver...

The loudest I play my movies is on -20db and it goes up to 10db.

Who thinks the outlaw will be enough for my ears and sound preference. or do i need to go the next model up 125wpc at a $1000. in which case I will look further for used...B&k or rotel, the multichannel adcoms have really dried up
Rti10 front, csi5, Rti6 surrounds, PSW505, B&K200.7s2, Onkyo705.

    Is your front a pre-amp or AVR? (i.e do you have to amp all channels or can you get by with a 3 channel amp for the fronts and let the AVR handle the 6's?)

    Mains.............Polk LSi15 (Cherry)
    Center............Polk LSiC (Crossover upgraded)
    Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)

    Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)
    Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms)

    onecall.com has refurbished Adcom 7607 for $1050 shipped. I just ordered one. You can get a new five channel 7605 for about $1100

    Did FedEx cover their mistake and reimburse you?

    ...and, have you punched the delivery guy in the face yet?
