The 7100 is a new 7 channel amplifier that will be introduced shortly and can be mated with the 950 pre/pro (or any other pre-amp) or the 1050s pre-outs as well. It is a seperate amp. and is suspect to be in the 80-125 watt/channel range.

Go ahead with the 1050 purchase though and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I love mine!
