Well in that case I could just use the pre-outs from the Outlaw to the Zens without a hitch. My thing is, even though the B&W's are 91db efficient, won't there be a huge power disparity between the front mains at 5wpc and all other channels at 65wpc?Regards,

Hi Bernard,It depends on how loud you are listening. Since the speakers are 91dB sensitivity, you would be using 1 watt to get 91dB, 2 watts for 94, 4 watts for 97, and that would be about where you'd have to stop on the Zen. If you'll never go that high, then it won't be a big deal, but movies can get loud; I don't know if it's the best idea to use the Zen for the fronts in HT mode.
If I were in your situation, I would just use the Outlaw exclusively for HT, and get a pair of super-efficient tube-loving bookshelf speaks to hook up to the Zen. Klipsch comes to mind, but I know there are tons of others out there.
