Glad it's all sort of working, sounds like the amp needs a look at, it could be a dodgy resistor or leaky transistor or dry joint. If it were mine I'd have it open and give it a thorough visual inspection, your looking for cracks in resistors, look especially round places where it gets hot & maybe touch up some solder joints. Did you check the offset/DC on the OP Rob?
Those speakers look too high, I'd drop em down about half again at least, AFAIK 770's were meant to flour standing although the manual for the 770 Freedom says up on stands, against the wall but not touching, 1.5 - 2.5m apart, see - https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_librar...edom.shtml. As to size you can't have too big speakers, the bigger the better IMHO. The 770's aren't bad, the earlier ones had decent drivers - Seas tweeters and Peerless woofers, yours don't AFAIK. There are better speakers out there, the 770's lack mid and are a bit weak sounding to my ears. Someone's selling a load of decent speakers Rob over on UKVRR for a very good price a week ago.
