The woofers will be drawing from 130W and the mid/tweets will be drawing from 130W, 2 seperate channels on one speaker.
Right. There will be a 130W reserve for the woofs and another 130W reserve for the mids/tweets - for a total of 260W per speaker

It's different from what we have on our receivers, Jason. We have A & B channels but they are connected to the same amp that can only provide 90W for A&B together. A lot of newbies think that they can connect A to the woofs and B to the mids/tweets and bingo they've got twice the power. And we know that they don't.
But this Denon is part of a new generation where you can assign 4 separate internal amps to stereo.
Now come to think of it, we can bi-amp to 4 separate amps today using our Denons by using 7-channel stereo. I personally wouldn't do it but it can be done. Just wire the front two channels to the woofs and the rear two channels to the mids/tweets and set to 7-channel stereo for 90Wx2 to each speaker.
Heck, why stop there? Pull the cross-overs out of your 80s, cut the tracks that cross over to the tweets and connect your side channels to these tracks. Remove the clips from the binding posts, set to 7-channel stereo and you can have 90Wx3 for a total of 270W per speaker.
