Hi All...

I just spoke with someone in sales at Boston Acoustics. After giving her my all too true sob story about how bad I want this thing and that I had ordered one through OneCall she said that "yes, they are discontinued, but we do have them in stock"

I followed up with "so OneCall should get their order filled?" and she said "yes, they should"

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

It has analog inputs, but I think it still applies its bass management. So, I think you were on the right track.

Does anyone know if BA changed anything relevant in the model? (I'm pretty convinced of the Sherwood connection, though it doesn't deter me)

So this seems to be a good piece of equipment that is about $1200-$1500 on the open market and vs. competitor offerings from Denon, Marantz, etc. Green for you OP.

This is a VERY good deal and people should be jumping on it. Its a Goliath at David's price and has pretty much everything people would need to enjoy it for years to come. IMO it the second best deal I've come across after last year's Marantz SR-8400 at UBID.

Doesn't A/D conversion happen no matter what receiver you use? I doubt your SACD/DVDA signals are going straight to the receiver's amps from your source device.

And with the money you guys would save on this, shell out for the DVDO VP30 to take care of your image & routing needs.

The dual Sub-out is a bonus at this price point.

EDIT: Just wanted to post this from the Home Theater review. Remember this was rated originally at its $3k asking price. And don't forget you get that very good (rebadged) Home Theater Master MX-700 remote that costs $150 by itself.

Build Quality: 94
• Lift it up, and you'll learn a lot about the AVR7120's build quality
• Looks and feels like a high-end component

Value: 90
• Yes, it's expensive, but it sounds really expensive
• Boston's AVR7100 receiver is a tempting, less pricey alternative (but why bother when they are both at the same price now )

Features: 92
• Adjustable A/V synchronization maintains lip sync for all sources and displays
• Upgradeable flash memory

Performance: 94
• Gets awfully close to separates levels of sound quality
• Dolby Headphone processor is a big plus for headphone users

Ergonomics: 75
• Poorly written owner's manual frustrates setup chores
• Onscreen menu navigation could be better

Overall Rating: 91
Boston hit one out of the park with their first-ever receiver. The AVR7120 sounds stellar and is eminently capable of serving in even the most complex custom-installation systems.

Update:

I just got an email asking to confirm my shipping address with my credit card. Got that all straightened away and then spoke with someone at OneCall...all set. They're not in yet, but thinking soon.

...and best of all. The price is still $800...(I was worried it was too good to be true and they'd change it when they realized the 7100 was same price)

any coupon code for free shipping?

here's a review of the sherman newcastle that is supposedly rebadged to the ba.

The price says $799.99 on the AVR7120, but when you add it to your cart is changes to $999.99. Strange.

uh-oh...I was afraid of this...so far so good with my order, but beware folks!

I just checked my cart and luckliy the price hasn't changed. now I jsut have to pull the trigger.
