So far, the TM Deluxe is doing a great job handling every gig I've played with it. I might have gone with the TM Twin if I didn't have other options for when I needed a really loud amp. The TM Twin would be a great choice too, but I have a Custom Twin Reverb with a 15" speaker in it so if I think that I might need more headroom, I can always lug it out. The Outlaw is quite a bit cheaper, yet seems to get good reviews and the additional channels could later on be use for two extra surround or by-amp the 705s. I have reviewed the Statement P5 with my Dahlquist and Paradigm speakers and have high praise for it. I am trying to get some opinions about going for a 3 channel Emotiva XPA-300 or the Outlaw 5000x. Both my ears and my back are very happy about my choice. Comparisons & Conclusions The Anthem Statement P5, a massive 130-pound, 5-channel power amp, offers a good comparison with the Outlaw. The TM Twin has a little bigger cabinet and weighed the same as the Roland does, so I went for the lighter option and feel it's an overall improvement. I have been playing pedal steel through a Roland Cube 60 for the last 15 years or so and the TM Deluxe was a definite improvement and weighed 8 lbs less. Still rated at 5 x 120 watts into 8 ohms or 5 x 180 watts into 4 ohms (all channels driven), the 5000x is ideal for those who have moderate size living areas. For some reason the TM Deluxe seems to have more headroom than the reissue Deluxe or a vintage Deluxe. Into an 8ohms load, with six channels driven, the 7-channel Outlaw amplifier clipped (1 THD+noise) at 215W per channel at 20Hz, and at 221Wpc at 1kHz (250Wpc with two channels driven at 1kHz into 8ohms). Having said that, I have played guitar through reissue Deluxe Reverbs and vintage Deluxe Reverbs and I doubt that they would have the headroom to handle a pedal steel. For the subs, I had a Carver AV-705x 5-channel X 125 watt amp powering them. Larry, I haven't played a six string guitar through the TM Deluxe yet but I have played guitar through the TM Twin and I liked it a lot and thought it sounded really close to a tube Twin Reverb.
