Do the surrounds really need much power

It depends on what surround format your using. Dolby Pro Logic doesn't send much info to the surrounds and the surrounds are also bandwidth limited. Dolby Digital, DTS, etc... all have full bandwidth to every speaker with a greater amount of info also. Plan ahead and get what you need now so that you won't be going through this again in a few months. Sean

It should be true ,but with the power craziest I see ,I doubt it now....more power more power.....
