I threw in the towel waiting for the new amp and ordered a 770 at the discounted price. As much as I wanted the new amp, I couldn't really justify the extra money for a matching faceplate and a balanced design which would be of questionable value to me since my amp and preamp are very close.

I just noticed that they discontinued the 770. I ordered the 990/770 combo on Monday, set to deliver tomorrow. Can't decide if I made the right decision to get the 770 or should have waited for the replacement. Any thoughts???

I ended up doing the same thing. I was originally holding out for the replacement 200Wx7, but in the end I decided I needed the ~$400 more than I needed a matching faceplate and balanced inputs. And I wanted it sooner rather than later, so it was a no-brainer.
I've had mine up and running for a week with my 990, and overall I'm pretty happy. I watched something last weekend where I heard some distortion at a couple of points during the movie, so I'm trying to figure out where that's coming from. I haven't been able to replicate it yet though.

Well, got the 770 Amp yesterday, got everything hook up to the 990. Worked fine...for about an hour. Listening at a lower than normal volume and heard 3 loud "POPS" coming from the left surround. That channel is gone because I used another channel to check that it wasn't the speaker. Hopefully, it didn't do any permanent damage to the speaker. All in all, when I had to leave a message on the ansering service that I probably won't get a response until Monday, I am not at all happy. Next I get to lug that heavy back upstairs that nearly killed me getting down. Sorry for the venting!
