I have an Outlaw 7900 AMP for my 7 channels of HT audio, and I love it. I just added 4 Dolby Atmos speakers. I was looking at the 7500 to power them, but it just wasn't in the budget so I opted to get the Model 5000. I finally unboxed it and installed it this week and it does not look, feel or perform like a budget amp!

It arrived well packaged and double boxed. Based on the price I was figuring it would be lightweight box, but its 50 pounds. The brushed aluminum faceplate looks great.








Prior to hooking it up to the new Atmos speakers, I connected my existing L+R channel Atlantic Technology 8200s to it. While it didn't have the punch that the massive 7900 did when driven at high volume, it sounded much better than I expected given the price point.

Between the quality of the unit, look and sound, I don't know what Outlaw was thinking when they priced this under $600. They could have easily priced it at $999 and the value would still be there. If you are looking for an amp on a budget (its not fair to call this a budget amp) look no further than the Model 5000

Congrats! I was thinking of getting one for that same purpose. Let us know how it works out please. And, what are you using to process Atmos just out of curiosity?

I was mentally listing this for the exact same purpose if/when I finally get around to adding some Atmos speakers. Good to know it fits the bill! Thanks for the post! smile

I'm also curious which speakers you chose and how you like them.
