I am sure that some people are chomping at the bit to get their 950's, but it's only going to arrive as soon as it can. I think you've got the best approach in taking the time to make some preparations. A stand for the amp should be just fine (it's probably preferable, considering the weight of the 770). I need to do some electrical work myself, but I've been needing to for a while. Probably do that soon (drawback of small 50-year-old house, but I'll be here for at least another year so I may as well get things a little more useable).
