Seriously, I have no life.
If the front requires the full power of the Yam, then that material will also require the same power from the NAD, of course the same speakers and system in useannunaki said:That may be, however, what if your front three channels require say full power and the rears require half of their rms. Or two front speakers require their full rms output two require half their rms output and one requires a 1/4. in either case the NAD will be more dynamic as it will deliver more power. I am simply stating my opinion. As I stated in my previous post, BOTH are good receivers, and I tend to choose mine by who is going to give me what they claim and maybe some more to boot. Others are welcome to make their own conclusions as they can think for themselves. This is just what I look for when I buy a receiver or amplifier, among other things.
Also, remember that some people do listen to music (not myself) in five and/or seven channel stereo modes, as well as Pro-logic II and IIx. These modes do utilize ALL channels at the same time. While music is dynamic, it can require all of the channels' continuous power (or a vast majority of it) depending upon volume levels.
I prefer prologic/II listening myself yes. While they utilize the channels at the same time, the volume from the surround, in th emusic I am interested in, sanely recorded
That is my take
