Anyone savy on home stereo?

[Schrade]

Yep - that's it there Scott...

And it turns out that the SONY will push all 3 sets of speakers, even NOT in Surround mode. I was wondering about it's capability.

And this f&*cker rattles the house, all the way to the other end of the house!!! 1050 watts, 150w/channel. Volume pegs @ '73'; @ 40, the storm windows rattle. And I mean RATTLE. The Cerwin-Vega's and the Mitsubishi's carry BASS, and the Bose's do that, and crisp clear mid- + high's.

Franke - you're right on the speaker output to second amp; even tho' the SONY has discrete channel output control, no channel would go to 'minimum', while the other 2 channels are pegged volume.

Only using a Tape Deck [record] output would work, going to a second amp. Tried that, using the Teac as primary, feeding the CV's off channel 'A', and Tape Output to the SONY. But the Teac is only 110 watts/channel; SONY is 150!!! CV's (and Bose's) are diggin' that. Mitsu's like 270 watts, but they're happy @ 150. And so is Schrade
