New to the forum, hello everyone!
I’ve always been an audiophile but pretty new to the home theatre scene. I’ve had a Marantz SR4023 driving a pair of Focal 726 for years and totally loved the setup. The receiver is 2 channel 80 watts/channel. Our new house doesn’t support 2 separate listening areas so my old home theatre in a box has been thrown out. I replaced the AVR with a Marantz 6013, moved the Focals next to the TV and bought a REL T7 and a Focal CC700 centre. I’ve got a pair of Flatline Acoustic 8.5” in ceilings that used to be my zone 2 speakers that I’ll likely use & maybe a pair of Krix for the rears. I’m thinking I’ll set up a 9.1 later (maybe).
I don’t understand how power distribution works in a multichannel receiver.
My question is, should I use the old 2 channel (SR4023) amp to drive the 2 fronts? Should I use it for another set of speakers or should I use the 6013 all by itself?
