Go to the Artech Electronics web site; if they have any left they are clearing out Audiolab 8000A's at $449 and 8000S's (MSRP about $1100) at $549. I use a 12 year old 8000A with a Cardas Golden Power cord (purchased the 8000 used and payed almost as much for the power cord-a good aftermarket cord will do wonders for these amps) and it's a great combination. I think you'd have to pay double anyway to get much better sound.
