The amplifier is often wrongly assigned a RRP of 1899 DM, like here. I sold it myself and according to Denon's MSRP it cost 1499 DM and was sold at Brinkmann/ProMarkt and all other dealers at this price. Accordingly nonsensical this amp is offered at almost new price and beyond with the price of 1899 DM formerly.
