Exactly. I don't care if the internal amps sound like warmed over crap! My mains are self powered Paradigm Reference Active 40's and the center and surrounds are powered by 3 channels of a 7 channel amp so I have plenty of power to spare

I'll probably use the receivers amps to power the zone 2 outdoor speakers though, which are currently also powered by the 7 channel.
