The Audioholics article about the S/N R-972 stated the MSRP would be $1499US, however I have seen estimated prices on this unit anywhere from $1499 to $1799US. The R-872 has an MSRP of $1199US($1349 on the Axiom site) with far fewer features(no Trinnov) and less power than the 972 so I think the $1499US MSRP is a little low.
I am assuming when all is said and done, history shows us Canucks are looking at about 15 to 20% premium in Canadian dollars over the US MSRP. Problem is, because of the economy, retailers out there are offering pretty good deals on relatively comparable equipment. The question is, is the S/N 972 going to be worth those considerable extra dollars?

Charles(good-looking kids, by the way), there are some typos on the SN site and the 130 watt number is being misinterpreted a bit. A copy of the manual is here . The basic specs to meet the FTC regs(they don't quite make it without the distortion number)are two channels driven, 100 watts, 20Hz-20KHz, 8 ohms. The 130 watt supplementary number is with only one channel driven at 1KHz and with higher distortion(still not into audibility). Some magazines test like that at 1KHz, so the number might be useful from that standpoint, although it isn't acceptable under the regs for the basic rating. As to the price, on one of the false starts about three months ago $1799 had been announced as the supposed official list, although that may also change.

Just that there have been sooo many false starts that to have Alan say they have a 'firm' date, is a good thing.

I agree, I was replying to the OP about how it has been on their website for a year.

In case it is not clear, I am not Apostrophe_Bot.
I just have to live with the knowledge that I let the Bots out of the box, and we're never gonna be able to cram them back in there. (*sobs softly into popcorn*)
