Axiom Home Page Forums Thread Like Summary - AVR specs explained - need more power?

Hey,

I was reading my AVR specs on pioneer's webpage :
https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Elite+Receivers/SC-LX701#specs

Power Output per channel 4ohm - 2ch driven 220

If i'm running 5.1, would this number be lower due to additional channels driven?
It's not an advertised number

Considering picking up a separate power amp to run my M80s and possibly my VP180 center as well, my front soundstage doesn't feel as "grand" as it should.

Future plans will include 2 more channels for surround backs

Looking for suggestions

Thanks!

For what it's worth, I don't have that same issue with my 100s as Mojo. I have found the acoustic sweet spot with mine and they have completely disappeared. Also, with the imaging and soundstage they are amazing. When I'm playing classical or big band, Glenn Miller, it's as though I am sitting in the middle of the orchestra. I've never had speakers that completely surround me in sound. I can literally "see" where every instrument is located. It took me a while to get the AVR settings and speaker placement correct but I now have it matched to my room and MLP, which is 15 feet away. The QS8 v2s are okay during movies but I know that there will be a massive improvement once I add the QS10 v4s.
