BPA is based on the same output transistor as the NO 33H. Power is higher on the AMP2 at 150x2 vs the BPA2 being 125x2. The BPA is the better sounding amp. 
Is it Safe/ok to Plug Amplifier into Processor
There is probably a maximum power rating on the back of your Outlaw's AC receptacles. I would strongly recommend against plugging the amp in there for a couple reasons. First, it is probably only designed to run accessories like a DVD player (low ...

Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters?
I own a pair of Sophia 2s. More than likely your tweeters are ok. There are resistors that protect all of the drivers in Wilson speakers. For the tweeter, the resistors are located on the bottom of the Watt underneath the access panel. You will ne...

sub-woofer with ML Summits
The Descent SMOKES the Depth in terms of speed, tonal accuracy, extension, and weight. I should know, I've owned both. The Descent has a way of blending with speakers that the Depth couldn't dream of. If your read some of the reviews on the Depth,... 
High end amp - my last step
Before you drop a big chunk of change, do yourself a favor and at least listen to the Classe CAM-400s. They may only cost $10K, but they're absolutely stunning. 
Dual duty and LOUD
I strongly recommend looking into the new B&W 803S. B&W is know for their resolution. They can play VERY loudly, and the new "S" version has better bass than their previous model.
