    I'm running 5 pairs of speakers, one center and two subs.....its a small room....11x15 but I like the sound from all over effect, don't need more than med. loud volume...the big old Rectlinear 3 Lowboys are "underperforming" with the AVRs and I figure I've got the 120W per channel Pioneer, why...
