As an ex-telecoms engineer, this is one of the best descriptions of AV amplification power and speaker sensitivity I have come across. <br>Top work

Love you're explanation on speaker sensitivity, I've never understood it, till now. I have a 7.3.4 system with def teck 9080 towers and center, def teck pro 1000 sides and rears. With klips over head. With the anthem 1140 driving it all, For the first 2 years. Then i added a anthem 3 channel amp for the front stage. And wow did the system come alive! I read somewhere someone described it like someone lifted a vale off of the speakers. Wich is exactly right. To me it made a huge difference. I love this addiction of ours.

My buddy has paradigm monitor 9 v6. He had it powered by a Sony reciever, sounded bad at loud volumes. Then he got a pre amp, amp combo, sounded way better. Then he got a bryston 3b, sounded even better! Then i got a 2nd bryston, we bridged the amps into 400w mono blocks, and again, the sound was even better! More power = better sound. Bryston amps were built in the 80s. Mine gets really hot, so it needs new output transistors.

Wowwww. A big applause to you for such a detailed explanation for a layman like me. I’ve always wondered if I was ever going to understand all these ‘stereo things’. Wowwwww. No need to say; I subscribed immediately!!!! God bless you!!!

Another reason to add an amplifier is if you want to do something to the signal before it is amplified for the speaker that cannot be done in your AVR. Equalization, folding channels with a mixer or expanding channels to cover seating better.

When i first set up my home theatre in 2005 in a 1,600 sq basement with bookshelf's as my fronts ! The receiver kept going in protect mode and shutting down. I've progressed to Polk RTI A9 Floor standing Emotiva XPA-5 200 wpc and crown 2 channel 300 watt for the Polks Nice clean power. I only drive 4 height speakers with a Denon 3800. I'd never waste money buying a 160 wpc receiver. Always external amps for bed layers. Auro 3D is the way to go for music and movies even 20 year old Bluray's. No weak Atmos track needed.
