Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater A1400-2

The issue here is probably that the power supply is common to the 1400-8 and 1400-2 (they're both 1400-watt amps so it makes some sense ;)), and a P/S that size is both big and expensive to produce.

The electronics were expensive and time-consuming to *develop* but I expect the build cost for the additional channels (between 1400-2 and 1400-8) is lower than than the cost of the power supply and box. There were a few early discussions about this after the 1400-8 came out.

In fairness, most of the requests seemed to be for a 2 or 3 channel version of the 1400-8 rather than say a 600-2 or 700-2 which possibly *would* have been in the hoped-for price range.
