You guys are awesome. The "button pushing" suggestion worked on all 3 channels that were passing only high end. The bad news is there's still one channel that's not working at all. Is it time to pull it? I'd like to get a schematic if I can. I'd be glad to pay someone for a copy. I'm off to work so I'll check back.
