In Reply to: HT power amp for 7 channels@200 Watt into 4 Ohms posted by drdoolittle on November 29, 2001 at 17:10:35:
It is improbable you would ever have all 7 channels going at full tilt and unlikely you could stay in the room and retain your hearing if they were. Most times they will motor along at less that 10 watts and only be occasionally called upon to deliver sustantial power in some channels.Regardless, the fuse will go in the line of your amp before doing any drastic harm to it. This is what goes "phut" if you are careless enough to short out speaker leads while the amp is still switched on.
More harm is done by connecting underpowered amps to speakers as the resultant distortion can fry tweeters in fine style.
BTW ignore readings from your ohm meter - it will not give you any sensible info about your speakers. The impedence of these varies dramatically according to frequency so you will not have much idea of what is really going on re interaction between amp & speakers except using that instrument called the ear.
Bottom line, relax and enjoy.
