The Cary Audio 11a and 11v together, you are looking $6-7000. I know in the last two or three years, Cary has lost at least three retailers that I know of, just around Southern Ontario alone and those that do still "say" they carry the line, only do so on a special order basis. Trouble with that is you can't do any in-store demos. An acquaintance of mine that manages one of these "former" dealers said that the Cary home theater equipment just wasn't a particularly good value/performance product compared to his other lines so they decided to drop it. Not enough call for it.

It is interesting to note the processing chips in the Cary Audio 11a are EXACTLY the same ones that are in the upcoming Emotiva UMC-1 pre-pro which is going to sell for $699US. That should tell you something.
