In Reply to: AV Receiver as two channel only? posted by Matt S. on January 2, 2004 at 14:09:38:
Don't worry about how they write the numbers... you're still getting full range from the other amps.http://www.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL026946
+ 130 watts x 2 min. RMS, both channels driven into 8 ohms from 20Hz to 20kHz with no more than 0.08% THD
+ 130 watts x 6 min. RMS, into 8 ohms, 1kHz, 0.8% THDI believe that your amp is showing two different modes... the top being 2 channel mode, the second being full surround. I can say with a fair amount of certainty that if, in surround mode, your amp only spit out 1kHz tones, there would be massive product returns and complaints.
You should be getting from approximately 20Hz-20kHz with your amp (although you have to have a realllly good sub to get down that low and realllly good ears to hear that high... and even then, it's just harmonics. As long as your speakers can reproduce between about 60Hz and 16kHz, you're going to be doing fine. A decent sub can take you down another octave (30Hz). The surround signal is usually spitting out information no lower than 100Hz, so don't worry about it so much.
That said, the 1Khz must mean something else. I don't understand the formatting they're using with that 1kHz bit, but it seems to be standard now with AV receivers (Denon is doing it, too).
130W should be plenty loud enough, but then I don't know your room. Just remember that it takes 10 times the power to make things twice as loud... so 200W is not really much louder than 100W... it would take 1000W to make it twice as loud.
