In the last couple years there have been about 20 posted to Fleabay, of which 18 were non functional.
The 771A sounds better, but blows up worse.
The B doesn't sound good and still blows up.
OTOH the rack mount Altec biamps are nice.

Sadly, not exactly the ideal "onboard" unit for a speaker box. But IMO, has the reliability and sound worthy of the big "A" and green paint.
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
Just to add to OG's comments, My 9846's were originally the B model with the
771's installed in an auditorium. After the embarrassment of multiple in-service failures,
the 771's got tossed into a dumpster. With great external bi-amp setups available, why
bother with these at all...........
Before Tripath went south I was gonna play with putting their chips in the 771 frame, but alas.
This late in the game best just forget it.
