Russell,
Many of the amps in the 200wpc range weight around 80 pounds with just 5 channels. All these specs came from the manufactures web sites.
ATI 1505(150x5): 73lbs
Parasound HCA2205AT(220x5): 85lbs
Rotel RMB-1095(200x5): 75lbs
Sherbourn 5/1500A(200x5): website shows an in carton weight of 79lbs so lets substract four lbs for the box and packaging and make it 75lbs.
All of these amps are proven, quality 5 channels amps. Sounds to me like Outlaw is skimping on the power supplies. Or maybe they know something about amplifier design no one else does. I remember they originally stated that the amp weighed more than 100lbs. Did they cut corners somewhere and use cheaper/smaller power supplies? I noticed they don't publish the size of the power supplies anywhere.
When it comes to amps. It all in the power supply. I'm with you Russell.
