The loads on my Cinenova and Bryston, are not as great as normal, because in every location, all 7 speakers have built in powered subs(DefTech), and running on Large. Unless something has changed, then this alone will put great relief on the current draw the amp would normally pull.
I know one thing, theres no way I am removing the Brickwall units from my system.
