Recievers or Amps and surround sound


Hi folks, I am wanting to know how an amp or reciever works, in particularly when distributing suround sound. For an example, when a reciever is set to concert hall, or an amp recieving a signal from an a/v processer, does the information go through 1 amp or through several amps within the unit called an amp, then distributed to the speakers including. I understand that the audio signals are processed prior to going to the amp.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I am trying to understand why an amp rated for 225w on 1 channel is rated for 200w all channels(Anthem A2), 180w all channels(Anthem A5). I'm going to get Harley's book.
