Building a new home theatre after a number of years and I have a few questions I am hoping to get help on to get a grasp on my requirements. Just bought some pre-loved KEF LS50s that I am going to be using for L/R/C. I understand they are difficult to power so I am trying to be smart about which AVR I buy. I again am going to try to avoid buying new to keep costs down. Plus I don't mind equipment that has been well looked after. Anyways these are my questions:
1) When comparing the power output of the AVR. Does it matter how many channels it has? I am only going to be running a 5.1.2 setup so would for example an 11 channel AVR benefit me in any way over a 7 or 9 channel in terms of power output per channel?
2) Do AVR's with Spotify connect have a standby mode so that they turn on when you send music to them from your phone?
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Sorry if they are entry level questions but its been a while since I have done this. In general, I have "wife" limitations. The kef's are one of the key speakers she would let me buy instead of a soundbar.
Thanks!
