Well I was going to do that or go with the mono blocks. But Steve wanted to to keep the 950 and then wait till they had time to trouble shoot the 770 at their factory or where ever, and said he would try and call me in a few weeks. I didn't wish to sit here with a 950 that was useless without an amp, and not know when the system would be working again. ;-) It will all work out, and be good, and will just have a BBQ and have all the local Axioms owners over.
