I think it all depends on how you judge quality and value.

Emotiva is still relatively new. I have read the many happy reports from owners, I have also read some not so happy posts.

Outlaw has been around longer. Some of their amp are built by ATI, a solid amp company, and build amps like tanks (I currently use an older ATI 1505 for my center and surrounds). That said, and to be fair to Emotiva, I have read about some Outlaw amps having problems with some speakers...but far and few between.

As you know, amp prices vary greatly. What I would do is set a specific price point and also look at the used market.
