so i am still shopping for this home theater setup thing
now my question is about those amps/preamps/receivers stuff
basically what we have right now is a receiver that gets all the signals and sends them directly to the speakers. it has 130w for the fronts and 40w for rears and center.
now thats a pretty easy setup, right, ok
the speakers I am considering are those:
- 200w fronts (2x)
- 150w center (1x)
- 125w rears (2x)
looking at the amps they make nowadays most of them are 5.1, 7.1 with the SAME ammount of wattage per channel.
so I cannot get one with higher then 125w per channel as the rears will not be ok, but at the same time im only at the 5/8 potential of the fronts.
how doe those amps/preamps come into play here?
lets say you route from the receiver to the amp to the speakers
is the total power receiver+amp or amp or ???
any comments/websites would be appreciated :)
