Well gee, now you've added "If you can swap out the 950 with several other pre/pros and the hiss is only there when the 950 is in the system, I would expect the outlaws to cover the product under thier warranty. That's all I'm saying. I'm somewhat astonished that you don't think they should cover it".

This is ALOT different from what you started with. You now describe "specifics" re: the 950, before you talked in generals re: speakers or an amp. Under this scenerio, based on the excellent customer support I've received from Scott and Mike, I'm confident they would work with you to solve your problem.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to convey. I just thought it unreasonable in your original post that if you "changed" your system, and sumpthin was amiss, you automatically get another 950. Of course, under the 5 year warranty if the 950 was the problem, they should/and I believe they would get you all "fixed" up. Peace to both of you!
