I thought the same as Jay when I read your post last night John.

Has anybody ever investigated and written about real world power usage in a 5.1 system? I have no idea how much power any of the speakers draw at any given point during use.

Even when it comes to dynamic peaks. Do those peaks appear across all speakers at the same time? If this is the case, I would imagine a modest receiver could run out of power very quickly, even at lower volumes.
