Looks like Costco.com is now selling the Monster amp for $999 also. I believe it was $1,600 a week or two ago...maybe no one was buying them.

Again, there is something really unsettling about seeing a product being sold at a legitimate store (like Costco) for 1/3 retail price.

I'll be putting my order in for the 7500 in a few weeks...hope it does a good job driving B&W 803S's.

Cheers.
