baszha Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 When adding a separate amp to an AVR does the AVR become the pre-amp/processor with the amp just being the amp? Also when doing this does the watts per channel of the AVR get added to the watts per channel of the amp? If running a 5.2 system how many channels do I need in a amp? one more thing.....will the separate amp know when I am in stereo mode and apply the power total power to just two channels. thank you in advance!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can drop the amp channel requirement down and many times use the amplifier channels in AVR for the rest. This comes with typically more inexpensive price or allows for higher quality 2/3 channel amp vs many times a more compromised 5 channel.
