Well I found a pair of 1224 Biamps on epay last week and thought I would go ahead and remove the 771's and run seperate external amps and a crossover. This will give should greater flexibility and alow me to place the speakers futher away from the source.
I pulled the horns and drivers and repainted the boxes black. I also installed panel from 3/4" MDF to cover the holes left by the removal of the biamps.
Moldy has been really helpful and built me a few attenuators to replace the originals which had gone off over time. They sound great.
These speakers will be going to my sister un VA for her H/T mains. She presently has electrostats and was disappointed with them when she got them home. Sounded great in the store but never quite cut it at home.
