Please Help Me Choosing 5.1 Speakers and AVR

[lake1988]

Another help required regarding AVR power.....they give power for a amplifier as:
115W per channel (8 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.9 % THD, 1 ch driven)
80W per channel (8 ohms, 20 Hz-20 kHz, 0.09 % THD, 2 ch driven)
If I am talking about 5.1 Channel AVR then does it drive only 2 channels at a time or it drives 5 channels at a time. And if 5 channels are driven at the same time then what will be the output of the same AVR.
And the second thing is if one AVR supplies maximum power of 80 Watts when all Channels driven then what is the meaning of taking speakers whose power is more than 80 watts and impedence 8 ohm offcourse......

Please help me solve this query.....

The first power output is measured for frequency at 1khz..and here total harmonic distortion(THD) is a 0.9% of original output power at 1khz..so 115W means sqrt((total power)^2+(0.9% of total power)^2)..this type of specification is used to specify performance of amplifiers.
Now the second one is also same but you can see the frequency range is very high so THD is more distributed so it's low.
This 80Watt is rated maximum output rms power which means if you connect two 8 ohms speaker system it can drive both @ 80 w.
So does that means it will consume 80w all the time per channel..it depends on loudness or how high you want your amplifier to deliver sound..it will be a bit low than 80w cause there is a inbuilt circuitry in each amplifier to control the driving current so over current won't burn the chip itself.

Thanks for explanation things are lot clear now....

Thanks everyone for ur valuable suggestions and special thanks to Rajadeep for helping me auditioning the speakers and AVR. And so I finally made my order after having another session of audition near my hometown.
I decided to go with Yamaha 473 AVR, Tannoy Mercury V4 FS, and Tannoy Mercury VC center. Will use my old AIWA hifi system speakers as surrounds and would love to add Sonodyne Sonus Rears in future.
So guys m early waiting for my speakers to deliver.........will let u know as soon as get them
thanks everyone again....

Could you share the cost of ur speaker purchases..
and congratulations on your purchase

Tannoy Mercury V4 cost me 31K from htstore.in and Mercury VC of 12K. AVR i got from Cinebels, Mumbai 26K(US Model) with transformer.

AVR choose from denon & Marantz..and for speakers start with polk audio,mission and lot more option available in market you cab choose from.

Dude.. he already got the setup. Atleast check 2-3 posts above, just to make sure you are replying to a valid query.
