It does make sense to discontinue all three products (the 7120 receiver, the 7200 amp, and the AVP-7 processor) now that they're part of the same corporate ownership as Denon and Marantz. Still odd that they're discontinuing them so quickly by feeding them through AudioAdvisor and slashing the prices (rather than just letting the existing stock sell out). Maybe D&M wanted to be rid of the electronics line in a hurry.

The 7120 is no longer listed at AudioAdvisor, so they may have sold out. OneCall still has 7120's. Both sites have the AVP-7 and 7200 now, but they seem like less compelling values. The AVP-7 is only $100 less than the 990 (a savings that gets you an MX-500 remote but omits the quad crossover bass management, balanced outputs, DVI switching, and the benefit of firmware updates in the future) and the 7200 is the same price as a Model 7125. The package price (AVP-7 plus 7200) at AudioAdvisor is also $100 less than the 990/7125 package, but it's actually $100 more than the 990/7125 at OneCall. AudioAdvisor is offering free shipping, of course, but that still doesn't seem like a real compelling deal.
