My Vanguard was a steal as well...I bought it as one of the first integrated units released at the initial projected msrp of $3500 plus a discount of $300! A few days later my dealer told me the actual price was $4500 :) later that year Krell put the digital upgrade in for $1000 and Re-badged it as an original Vanguard Digital which I believe goes for close to $7000 or more now?
