John (or anyone who knows),

Can you elaborate on this some? I've always had trouble wrapping my head around how this actually works. If an amplifier's roll is to increase the amplitude of signal that represents sound in a channel, how do these transistors play into this when there are several discrete channels with their own independent signals? And how does the newer Denon receivers with assignable amplifiers fit into this?
