Hehehe Thanks... I was just kidding about buying yours. But I will keep audiogon in mind. The sad thing is buying a used 950 (around $500) and a new 770 is more than what the combo used to cost new since you dont get the rebate!

Ya gotta love competition. MLS just posted this over at AV123. EMO UL will be priced at $998 for the pair if you currently own our speakers, or if you purchase any speaker when ordering this spectacular offer... $998 for the set! I was thinking of spending $3K on a Pre/Pro now I can get a 990 and the U/L stack and still have pocket change.

gonk: care to compare the 755 and the 770? I will only be using a 5 channel system for the near term. Long term, it depends. I may go to a 7 channel system. It would be nice to have everything self contained.
Can you point to a link for the 790?

Comparing the 755 and 770 is pretty easy - they are identical except for the number of amp channels provided. The individual amplifier channels used in both are the same, as is the chassis. There are some slight differences in the power supply, I believe, due to the extra channels in the 770. Sonically, everything I've seen indicates that they are indistinguishable from each other. If you think you'll go 7.1 and prefer to keep your amps in one box, the 770 is just what you need. If you think it may be a while (if ever), you can always elect to get the 755 and add a pair of M200's later. There's some scattered info on the 790. It was originally reported on in this thread , with some good pictures of it provided here by psklenar. More recently, this thread had a couple of reports.

Thanks gonk!! Those were some excellent links!!
Any ideas as to the price of the new 790? If it was mentioned in the links, I missed it. I saw some other pricing, but not that one.
I am not in any big hurry so, maybe the best thing for me to do is wait a little bit longer and see what happens. I do like the looks and reviews of the 990. That is what brought me over here. The price is also great.
I think that the 990/ 790 combo may be a better deal than the new Denon 4806 that was just introduced. Comments? $3600 would be in my price range. I did take a long look at the Denon 5805, but at $6000 I think that one is a little pricey for what you get.
