This may be considered a step backwards, and only a niche product, but would anyone else be interested in a 5x125 amp? Take the 7125, hack a couple of channels off. Similar packaging. Might be cheap to introduce and carry an attractive price tag, somewhere near half of a 7500? That would fit for people comfortable with their current HT preamp, or looking for improved performance from their receiver. It may even perform better than 5x125 given similar underpinnings with less channels to support. Used models from Marantz and Acurus are being snapped up quickly....I could see going with the 7125, but it's not bridgeable. AFAIK
