I must say I am with everyone on wanting to get this first run of the A1400-8 competed. We would have had the amp finished 3 weeks ago but there were some cosmetic issues with the die cast aluminum top piece that caused us to have to rework the mold. The rework on the mold was finished early this week and the samples got their final finish today. All is looking good now. We are going to cast the production tops this weekend which means we will be able to have the final finish on them by Wednesday. We will be able to start assembling the final product on Wednesday afternoon. It is looking now like we will start shipping on Thursday or Friday. Since we have actually sold more amps than the first run was scheduled for we will have to wait for more circuit boards to be completed to move onto the second run. They are due to arrive in three or four weeks.
As for the number of channels the A1400-8 has 8 channels. We do the ratings for 7 since that is the normal quantity used for a Home Theatre amplifier but there is an extra channel for a second centre channel that is becoming so popular with bigger screens.
