Hey all!

I too have been eagerly anticipating the 997's release which has been including keeping tabs on the R-972's progress and I found some interesting information on-line from a website called 'Projector Packages' and they list the R-972 available with an MSRP of $2242.89 and an 'in cart' price of $1835. Since there was discussion on the price of this receiver, I though I'd register and mention it here, FYI.

I was wondering if the site's claim of 'WE ARE THE ONLY AUTHORIZED ONLINE USA SHERWOOD NEWCASTLE DEALER' since I've seen Axiom sell Sherwood Newcastle products and thought they'd be authorized too. I also think the 'List price' seems rather inflated, but the 'add to cart' price seems to reflect what other people have suggested.
