For a good idea, on non-digital amps is simply look at the rating of what it pulls from the wall.


Example:

6 x 100 watts, the back of the AVR should be close to 1000watts to truly provide that.

If you look though, many of them will state like 280watts, the laws of physics just don't work out at all on that.


I have no experience with the newer "Digital amps", but as I understand it, they require much less from the wall to provide the same sort of power to the speakers.
