Thanks for the reply. Yes, I do plan to use the 12 VDC trigger. This way I'll be able to "hide" the amp behind my tv stand, which holds my satellite receiver and soon the 950. I was concerned about the fact that heat rises and...well...technically the venting on the amp would not be directly above the heatsinks, if you see what I mean? I talked to some electricians at my work regarding a seperate curcuit and they asked me how many amps the 770 draws. I didn't know and they suggested that it probably only draws several (3 or 4) amps and not to worry about it. They said that as long as I'm not on the same curcuit as an electric motor, eg. refridgerator, I'll be fine. Do you know how many amps the 770 draws? My speakers are bi-wireable but I probably won't bi-amp them. I won't need to. It's just the idea of having those extra two channels as I don't have a 7.1 setup yet. Anyway, thanks for the help, Steve
