I don't know if I'd wait that long.
My 950 hisses on the speakers and amplifier I use today so it's an easy decision for me. I'm exchanging my 950, as soon as they let me.
The warranty on my Von Schweikert speakers became worthless when Von Schweikert went out of business. Ditto with the LAtronics warranties when they went of business. An expensive lesson.
