    AVR Receiver wattage, why so weak these days and only 2 channels driven instead of each channel?

    I own a pair of Polk LSI25s and a Polk LSIM4 center. I purchased an Onkyo 676 thinking it would be able to drive the 3.1 system decently. Then of course i read the fine print. (210 watts at 1 channel driven) (110 watts at 2 channels driven). At $500, you'd think this receiver would be able to...

    I know absolutely nothing.

    I'm ashamed to say that as a lifelong musician my technical knowledge is limited to on/off switch, and plugging things into the wall. This is also the limit of my knowledge when it comes to my stereo equipment. I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to explain to me what the different parts of...
