OK, I know this is not just a 770 issue but that is what I have. I had a UPS guy bend 5 and broke 1 right where the speaker wire would go through the post. I pulled the back off and inspected the board that the post attach to and they are fine, I would like to replace these. I called Outlaw and they tell me that they don't sell or cant tell me how to get them.

First they wanted me to ship in a 100# amp. I asked what would you have done then when my amp got there and you no longer have these post and the Customer Service Rep said I don't know. I did not find them very helpful at all. I just want factory post to put back in.

Any help or advice would be great.

Thanks

You might try Parts Express.

It is quite unlikely that Outlaw had those parts custom made for the amplifier. There are many manufacturers that make similar products and they are available for sale.

I would check some of the electronic parts distributors such as Digi-Key, Allied Electronics, or Newark. They all have electronically searchable catalogs online and take credit card orders. You can probably find something close enough to work.
For example, I found this on Digi-Key:

Thanks guys, I had the same idea and found that exact one. That is very close but the back shaft is longer and these are gold. I looked for a couple hours searching different ways and could not find anything that really looked the same. It could be the picture too but the back half of the post is 2.5cm long. Those look short in back.

You could also try calling ATI (the company in California that manufactured the amp) and ask them, although I suspect that even if they sold you some they would be pretty much the same as what has already been suggested here.

Just an update for future searches. ATI was the place to go to. Very helpful and had what I needed and got it all together. Thanks all.
