New to the Forum. So I've recently built up my home theater room within the past year. I have the Denon AVR X6300h running a full 11 channel atmos setup. Pushing klipsch 5502 in walls for the Fronts and center channel and 5650 S ii for the in wall surrounds .The heights are a CDT5800. I felt that with this many speakers being run that my receiver was running pretty hot and lacking a little power. So I went out and got and Emotiva XPA 7 gen 3 to run the fronts and surrounds leaving me with 7 unused amps in the receiver. It seems that I'm unable to assign the unused amps to another zone witch is what I was hoping to do. I have to run the heights to the separate amp to have receiver run them, which I don't want to do because I think 200 watts is too much power to run outdoor speakers. What do you guys think? Did I waste my money buying a separate AMP? Or should I just downgrade to the 3 channel AMP and save a little money? The difficult part is not knowing the amount of power all speakers are getting with all the channels being driven on the Denon. Any input would be appreciated.
