is there any multi-chnnel power amps that can...


produce equal power for 5 or 6 or 7 channels for movies, but produce higher 2 channel for stereo?

for example, 5x100 watts(total 500watts) for movie and 2X250 watts(total 500) something like that.

because my H/K reciver says that it's power is 70wattsX5 for multi channel or 100watts for stereo(not quiet same output but certainly more than 70 each for stereo).

So, I'm wondering if any power amps can do simliar thing.
(sort of automatically bridging the 5 channels to higher 2 channel)

Kind of bothers me wasting or idle(not making use of) available powers when listening to stereo with multi channel power amp.

The Theta Dreadnaught II is configurable however you want, with up to five total modules, of either 1x225x or 2x100w. So you could have two of the 1x225 modules (or better yet 3, and use one for center), and two or three of the 2x100 modules. And better yet, for two channel listening, there is an option of selecting one button which will send the bulk of the current to just the left and right channels.

Plus, Theta amps sound fantastic.
