How many watts per channel? Is it just as powerful as say a Pioneer or Kenwood?

To add a little more to the other answer, I notice it more powerful than the original radio on my 2006 Sienna. To tell if this is as powerfull as a Pioneer or Kenwood, I guess you need to specify the models you are talking about.

Yes.This receiver will power any set of speakers I know of . Pioneer rates this receiver at 140 rms watts per channel. I cannot speak for pioneer but this receiver will get the job done. Hope that helps. Great Receiver.

No. You may be looking at about 50 watts per channel RMS if you are lucky. It is a cheap amp, with fictional specs and a poorly written manual. Lower your expectations.

Well I think it plays at max 52 watts per channel.So for it to sound good through your speakers at least30.

I have them powered by a pioneer sa 510. 30w per channel. Not really impressed honestly. I'd buy something else.

The receiver is 125 rms, with only .1% distortion at that level. When it gets up to 143 watts, it rates at 1% distortion. That's the ratings for two channels. When you run all 7 channels at 85 watts, the distortion is higher - 1%. Soundandvision.com did a bench test on it.

I'm not an expert, but I went off of the 175W per channel rating when I bought this. The speakers I got were Polk Audio TSi 400's that are capable of taking 200W of power so I knew that the receiver couldn't overpower the speakers if I cranked it up.

Very loud with little wattage. They don't need but 150watts to each sub. Rockford Fosgate 500 2 channel amp is what I have pushing them. They will rock!!! I don't have them anymore sold car just left them in car. Down sized to 12" now Kenwood 12ps they are even louder without taking up my whole trunk.

The specs say they can handle 60 Watts nominal(RMS) and up to 350 Watts max(Peak), although I personally wouldn't push them that hard. My Pioneer head unit puts out about 50 Watts RMS per channel times 4 channels and these speakers handle that just fine with more than adequate volume. My advice is that you run them straight off the head unit without an amp.

I have the Denon AVR-3313ci with 125w per channel...these speakers are working very well. I'm very happy with this purchase.

125 watts per each of the 7 channels (seven fully-discrete, 125 watt amplifiers). The spec is written that each channel is capable of putting out 125 watts in the scenario that all 7 channels are being driven. It's a powerhouse!

I think 45 watts per channel. It's in the description. It's very loud with 4 speakers. I run 4 6.5's alpine with this unit and 1 10" sub on a seperate amp. Sounds clean and loud. Can hear it doing 59 mph

I had my techie guy measure it and it was running between 125 and 150 watts per channel - stereo at 8 ohms. I bought it to power a vintage pair of NS-10s and I have had no problems. Hope that helps.

I'm running the Pioneer GM-D8604 400watts RMS 1200watts Max Mono Amp-Pioneer GM-D8601 800watts RMS 1600watts Max. Max watts mean nothing, always look at RMS watts. I tested my amps to see what they are really doing in watts. My GM-D8604 is putting out 487watts and my GM-D8601 is doing 860watts... I have no problems with getting hot and I'm running at 2ohms. Yeah they are good amps.

I have seen it described as having 3 Watts per channel. And it may have been listed that way somewhere on the paperwork that came with it. I can also say that I compared it to several similar small bluetooth speakers and found it be one of the better options.

Depends on the impedance the channels are driven; the number of channels that are driven; the total harmonic distortion that is allowed; and other factors. TBH, the WPC (watts per channel) is not nearly as important as the sensitivity of the speakers that will be driven by the amp. Suffice it to say, that the SC-1523 is essentially the SC-75 in Pioneer's Elite Class receivers. It is truly an exceptional AVR with more than enough power to drive most audiophile speakers at reference level and has most of the best features of the industry. I could go on about it's DAC's and network capabilities, but you asked about power. The AVR DOES have pre-amp outs for bi-amping your speakers if you choose to do so. So buying this AVR is a no brainer. I have a perfectly good (very good) Pioneer VSX-AH1018-K AVR that is in storage for one of my sons when they get their own place. When the SC-1523 came out and I saw it was equivalent to the SC-75 at less than half the price, I ordered it on the spot. This unit is also capable of 9.2 channel setups or zone setups. Forget about the watts and just savor the sound.

It's 100 Watts per channel but you can run speakers with it that are not rated to go up that high in watts so long as you don't turn the volume up too high.
