Hi everyone I hooked up 7.1 to my sherwood and it shuts down (safety circuit) after 5 min everytime I use the 2 back speakers. So I am going to send it after talking to them apparently its a known problem. I dont want to be without my system for a month so I am going to buy seperates I like Emotiva because of the price but their new unit is not available yet. So does anyone know of seperates as good or better around the same price level $1400 for both. I am not that knowledgeable on seperates the emotiva brand was just a recommendation from someone I trust in the field but he didnt know of any others in that price range. Thanks
Are you sure the receiver is defective. Have you checked your speaker wire for stray whiskers or any defects in the wire? Since you just said you installed speakers for a 7.1 setup, this is quite possible. I don't remember you running M80's so any of the Axioms you have will not be taxing on the receiver. It should run a 7.1 setup with no problems.
