I don't know of many seven channel amps at all (B&K has the Reference 7270, but it retails for closer to $3000 -- and it is rated at 7x375W at 4ohms and 1830 watts max power consumption). There are some 5 channel amps that are competitive with the 755 in the sub-$1500 price range (not necessarily with 200W of power, but considered sonically competitive based on the 750), and I think that's what was being referred to at HTF.
