I believe the price for the 7100 is $899, acording to an add I saw in this months Home Theater magazine. I am also in a bit of a quandry, regarding purchasing the a mid priced Home Theater receiver or going with the 950/7100 combo. I just purchased Athena AS-F2's, AS-C1, and B1's for the rears. Also planning on aquiring a new Dvd/Audio-SACD player. Any input or advice regarding the Outlaw combo vs. HT receiver, would be appreciated.
