Ah! I get what Patman's saying. Is it possible to get some wires reversed at the factory that would cause the pre-amp outputs to be out of phase? Something that could be tested by connecting the speakers "backwards" at the amp? It would seem like something that could happen more easily at the amp, but santaclarajim had similar poor results with his 950 when using the Anthem amp (if I remember correctly), which would seem to get the 770 off the hook.
