I have slowly been building an immersive home theater system. I bought a Denon ABR-X6500H to get started. Originally I bought some Polk monitor 70s and a matching center. Shortly after I found out about SVS sound. I started immediately had buyers remorse and decided to get rid of what I had and upgrade to SVS towers and center. Before I did that I bought 4 prime surrounds, 4 prime elevations and a pb-4000. I was finally ready to buy towers and a center but they announced the pinnacles; I decided to wait for those. I finally have a full SVS prime 7.1.4 setup. I do plan on buying another pb-4000 but before I did that I wanted to put more power my mains. I was considering getting something like an emotiva 7 channel. I am unsure if putting 200 watts to all 7 of those would be a good idea though. The pinnacles are rated for 300 watts so I thought of maybe getting a 2 channel to power those and then going for the basx for the other 5. I wish there was a more accurate output rating for my receiver. It’s rated for 140 watts 2 channels driven. When I call Denon, they tell me it is 140 watts all channels driven but I don’t see that being the case. I watch a lot of movies and my setup sounds great when watching a 4K blu ray. It’s loud but I can tell I’m really pushing the Denon when I watch a movie. Music isn’t as loud as I would like. I know for sure I would be happy with the 2 channel on the pinnacles but don’t know if it’s justified to get the basx for the rest. It’s rates for 125 watts all channels driven. I just don’t know if that’s more or less than they are currently getting. The 7 channel may be a better way to go but I’m unsure if the surrounds can handle 200 watts safely. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
