Update......I have managed to prove to Outlaw that there is something wrong internally on the 770, so with regret, I'm returning the 950/770 for a refund. They are going to send the set to the techs and have them see if they can isolate the issue. I think Outlaw is a great product, but after this expierance with 7 channel amps, I'm going with the advice of using seperate amps, and becasue the M80's sound great a loud volumes, I'm staying with something around 300 watts per channel I think. So now, back to researching and making a decision on what.
