7500 or Earthquake Cinenova Grande 5

Earthquake Cinenova Grande 5
Does anybody own a Earthquake Cinenova Grande 5 or 7 amp and or a Outlaw 7500 amp? I'm looking to purchase one for HT and 2 channel use. I can get a new one (Earthquake Cinenova Grande) for $2200 down from $4500. My only concern is why the big reduction in price? I'm looking for long time use whatever amp I buy so I want to make sure the amp has good value for the price. The main difference between the two amps is the 7500 is 200 watts per channel and the Earthquake Cinenova Grande is 300 watts. Thanks!

The Cinenova are made overseas, so the actual build cost is low, which is why the markdown is large. However, they list MSRP the same as other high-end brands. From what I understand they were ATI knockoffs when they first came out.

I purchased The Earthquake Cinenova Grande 3 a few months back and I have no regret at all. The amp. never gave up even when I played movies that's extremely demanding on the base level, e.g. Seasbiscuit. By the way, I set all my speakers to Large which demand a lot of amp. for the base level.

I have an Earthquake 5 channel and it is an excellent amp for both music and HT and works very well with hungry speakers.
