Please don't take this personally, but I did say "VERY SLIGHT" and "NOT AUDIBLE" except "for a slight decrease in stereo imaging". Most systems will not notice any difference. Some systems I have encountered are so close to loosing this sound staging (instrument and vocal placement) that cable type and length has effected imaging to an audible degree. Differences such as having one cable made of silver and one made of copper can really have SIGNIFICANT effects on this imaging. Sometimes statistics and data facts only depict part of the story. A great deal of life is 'intangible', at least by my experience!

Widget, I am not sure, but am in hopes that the LFE output on the 950 will have the ability to disengage the bass management. Since it has not been released yet I don't know. If it can you could 'Y' off the 950 LFE output and use the speaker cross over. You could then run the remainder of the speaker from the 770 or 750 amp (bi-wiring if you desire!). Even if the 950 does not have the ability to disengage the bass management this might still be your best bet, you will just need to 'play' with the settings for the best sound. Your suggestion of using the 'RCA" out from the R/L on the mains on the 950 (using a 'Y' connector) may or may not work to your satisfaction. Some systems set up like this can provide feed back to the amplifier resulting in a 'hum' or 'hissing' sound. I have seen some systems work great set up this way, though! A lot of HiFi is trial and error! A lot of complex interactions exists between various components!
