Looking for a new amp

Hmmmm,  here's the Nord link to what i was looking at:
https://www.nordacoustics.co.uk/product-page/nord-one-nc250mp-4-10-channel-amplifier 
I added a normal "7 channel" to my shopping cart and the only addition I saw was 100 Euro for shipping to USD, making it a total of 1674 Euro, or $1876 USD.  The only thing I can think of is that Nord would add a VAT tax, which I am completely unsure of.  Is this what you are calculating?
The Monolith may have balanced XLR inputs, but I don't know that the actual amplifier output board is "balanced/differential".   In a normal single-ended amp, the red speaker connector has power and the black speaker connector is just connected to ground.  In a fully balanced/differential amp, both red/black speaker connections have power and they push/pull with one another.

I got the same number as u, 1674 but I think it's the sterling pound. Pretty sure because built in UK, so if it is the pound it would be 2182 usd. I really dont like the cheap looking speaker connections on the monolith.  Probably need to call monoprice on balanced/ differential.  I did look at the 7700, but it was built 2007 and I think 1600.00 is a bit pricy for the age.  Especially when back then it sold for maybe 2k. So I'm back to new amp.

Most amps are actually single-ended.  Only certain specific amps are actually differential/balanced, and multi-channel amps are almost never differential/balanced.  Also, the initial version of the Monolith did not have XLR inputs, so it is most likely single-ended anyways.

On the Nord, when you pull up the page on the NC252 amp, scroll down to under the "Add to Basket" button and there will be a "USD to Euro" conversion widget.  It defaults to USD to Euro, so I assumed they are charging Euros.  If you are really interested in the Nord, maybe shoot them an email?

Ooooo, I copied the amount with symbol and pasted in Google,  that's where I got the figure from.   Didn't see conversion on the bottom.  I have been leaning towards the monolith 7x, 1600.00 also found a 125.00 coupon for it. Making it more intriguing. 

Did you decide? I'm in the same boat as you? Trying to get something for 1500$ and not sure which one
