BTW, Synth Planet can publish any damn figure they want to at this point. The Audya is not shipping, and they are under no obligation to honor that price. Personally, I'd be VERY cautious about anybody with a nearly 45% discount on a brand new item!

$1400 below MAP (not list price, but the lowest they can advertise) sounds like a scam, IMO. Call them up and ask if they will honor that price if you pre-order now, with ZERO wiggle room. Then stand back and watch as they squirm!
