[QUOTE="User121314, post: 1006504, member: 16824"] I'm a bit confused by this statement. Even if the internal amps are still being fed power if I'm using pre-outs, how can they clip if they have no load? Extrapolate a little further: You have a 9.1 AVR, but are only using it as a 5.1. So all 9 amplification channels are being fed power, even if you're not using 4 of them? And if you drive the AVR too hard those 4 channels will clip, even with no load? What then about the oft-given advice of using extra (unused) channels for bi-amping? I noticed a large reduction in the heat from my AVR when I connected the fronts to an external amp via pre-outs. How could this happen if the channels are still being driven? [/QUOTE]
