Kelly McAloney Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I am brand new to this and would love to know what 2ch driven means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well, there you go...USNRET described it perfectly. Any other questions, we are happy to help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattSER Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 So u are saying not all channels get that? Yes, he's saying that if you're using more than 2ch, the power drops for ALL channels, including the 2 front mains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly McAloney Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 I want a new reciever but don't know very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattSER Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well, don't put too much thought into how much power you're getting. Your speakers can still scream with less than 50 watts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Does your receive have pre-amp outputs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Kelly, Welcome to the forum I want a new reciever but don't know very much How much is your budget? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly McAloney Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 It's just that when I turn the v plume up at about 3/4 it starts to sound bad so I thought they might not be getting enough power, +I am giving that avr to my daughter to go with my smaller polk speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly McAloney Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I would like to keep it between 1000 and1500 by there is wiggle room, bill Edited October 14, 2014 by Kelly McAloney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly McAloney Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well either way I need a new reciever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly McAloney Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Not sure what pre pro is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 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.

mattSER Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Sounds like there might actually be something wrong with your receiver if it starts distorting at 75% volume. I would recommend an Onkyo TX-NR737 or TX-NR838 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly McAloney Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 So I can buy these separate or Is that what u call a avr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
