Any one know what he was talking about, He was to the thinking that with no speakers on the L C R and 2 surrounds that the amps would have no place to send the power to so it would heat up and fry.. Any way i hope i explanded this good.. and please forgive my bad spelling. When i get this all setup i will get some pics for all to see

Was this someone at Best Buy

That is so false

I have a 7.1 receiver and I am running only a 5.1 setup. According to him I guess my rear channels should have fried by now

Yes, the 765 replaced my 663

Not to worry as you wont fry any channels. That is an incorrect statement

Like Some of us have said, the XPA-5 would be a wise choice for you

You could even call Emotiva and ask if they have any B-STK XPA-5's and save a little.

These are returns people make and open box. They include everything and the warranty is the same as if you bought one new. Many on here have bought them on here and cant tell the difference as they look brand new. As an example, an XPA-3 sells for $599 new but B-STK is $499. You have to call them directly or e-mail them and find out there B-STK inventory. So B-STK for an XPA-5 might be $100 less then a new one.

A-STK= new

B-STK= new return or open box

best bet is to just call Paradigm and have them send you some new ones. They will charge you of course, but still probably your best option.
