My 7125 arrived today. I took a long lunch to meet the FedEx guy here. Wow!!! This thing is HEAVY!!! Much heavier that I expected. I have ~3" of open airspace in my rack for the 970 and 7125 (side by side) so hopefully that's plenty.

I haven't listened to it yet, but first impressions are that the build quality is very good. It handles my MIT bi-wire cables with no issue. They're fairly inflexible so it's always a good test.

I do kinda wonder why the left channel is physically on the right and vice-versa. Seems very backwards. You'd think you'd want the binding post for a given speaker to be as close as possible.
