I have the baby brother of this amp the 5.1 I got it at ubid.com and paid 500.00 for it (the 7.1 was around 800.00) after having this amp for 3 months now I have to agree with Bruiserwy. This is one great amp! the sound stage is well defined and the power is endless. I have mine bridged and can get 300 watts per channel! I have older B&W speakers dm 620s and this amp made them come to life. I tried many others but the sound and build quality is top notch!
