Hi, Team.
Wondering if there is a rule of thumb here, in terms gain matching your prepro and amps, in a separates config….
I have a very poor understanding here.
I read about clipping, and ensuring enough voltage on the pre-outs to enable max output from your amp.
Is there not protection built into modern amps, to ensure they can accept a wide range of voltage at their inputs?
What’s the greatest point of concern?
A) not enough output from pre-outs?
Or
B) too much output at pre-outs?
I’m looking at the Anthem AVM70 prepro.
I already have a Emotiva BasX A3 and A5.
The Emotivas are:
Comparing the two, it makes me concerned that the AVM70 may have too much output voltage at its preouts, for the Emotivas.
Is the AVM70 “too powerful”?
I wish I could see some sort of data product showing voltage response, to better understand.
Bed layer is all 4ohm (arendal 1961).
4 Atmos channels are 8ohm (RSL C34E).
Is there an issue w/running the AVM70 with the Emotivas, from a technical perspective?
I feel real dumb here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks.

The Emotivas are:
- Input Sensitivity (for rated power; 8 Ohm load): 1.25 V.
- Gain: 29 dB.
