Murphyslaw1978,

I noticed this as well. 20% is a steep discount. I can't imagine it's going to get any better than that unless you go used. That would be a good step up for a 7-channel theater. Are you using any external amps now? Plus the XPA-7 puts out some serious 2-channel power. You could bump up your volume a few more dBs with that bad boy!

I've been fighting the urge to purchase the ERC-3 to round out my 2-channel setup. I've been trying to save for the new Marantz AV7702 mkII and this would set me back a few weeks but save me money in the long run... If my HDMI switching on my Integra wasn't acting up again, I'd jump on the purchase but I have a feeling my receiver is headed for the boneyard any day now.

Cheers,

T Cobe

I'm in the same boat and want a new AVR. The only benefit for me with the XPA-7 would be going down from two amps to one chassis. I have a 250x2 for the fronts and a 200x5 for the rest. Those two amps I have a very large and take up space. One of them is 30 years old.
