Will. Did the Denon litterature actually state 90w x 6 channels? I know marketing types use weazel words all the time, but if you read carefully, they usually have a different implied and actual meaning.

Whenever I have looked at specs on receivers, they have been very clear on how much is delivered with a specified number of channels.

OK, I went to the Denon site and took a look at one of their products and I see what you are getting at. The marketing specs state XXXw x 7, but if you look at the specs in the back of the manual it gives 150wx2 into 8 Ohms (the FCC 'spec').

I also see that Parasound lists their amps as XXXw x Y channels, all channels driven.

I guess, having done sales & marketing for 15 years, I just automatically put on my waezel word filter every time a look at anything in the way of a brochure/specs. If I don't see all channels driven specifically, I assume its not.
