I could only be so lucky. LOL This is a pain, but I know when I have the new power in and everything is working correctly, all the porblems will be more than worth the effort, the Axioms are the best speakers I have had in 40 years of playing with audio products. I thought my M & K's were great back in 1985, but as I told Alan, this are far superior, especailly for the price. Back to research, checking into a possible good price on B & K on eBay, thanks to joninflordia, I have been so brain dead, did not check eBay in the last week.
