Driven

Would help to know the context where this was stated BUT I would speculate that you are looking at a multi-channel receiver or amplifier and the amplifier output wattage is being expressed. Almost every (if not every) multi-channel shares a single power supply for all the channels. As you decrease the number of channels driven the available power increases. Example: 80 watts per channel all channels driven, 100 watts per channel two channels driven

So u are saying not all channels get that?

Yep, you didn't state the model but I see where some of the lower end of manufacturers lines fail to provide all the data. Looks better for them to state higher output and if the consumer doesn't know then we get the short end of the stick. On the other hand, perhaps your speakers don't need more than is provided and you are in tall cotton!

If within budget consider buying a separate power amp and pre-pro (pre-amp / processor) that way when new bells and whistles come out that you want you can just replace the pre-pro and not spend again on the amplifier. Buying used amp is worth looking at.

AVR is divided into two basic sections. One is the preamp / processor (pre/pro) which does all the surround de-coding, volume control, switching between inputs, etc. The other section is th eamplifier that supplies the power to the speakers.
