[QUOTE="adie, post: 1010250, member: 2428"] Drool! If you are using external amps your L&R AVR channels are simply sending signal, not grunt- so won't be working as hard as it would driving all channels. AVR amps are, IMO, generally inferior and/or overrated. I tried hooking up my inefficient speakers to my Integra 40.4, supposedly outputting 110w, 2 channels driven. Yikes! Horrible distortion as it couldn't drive them without bi-amping (which I haven't tried cos I did something stupid and the Integra no work). My old Marantz integrated, only 50w per channel, does a far better job until the AVR and my power amps return. [/QUOTE]
