If you are looking to get a 5.1 channel home theater system for under $700 then you may want to consider Sony"s BRAVIA Theater System 6 HT-S60 model. The audio system is currently $100 off its usual price, making it a great deal (purchase link under the specs list below).
The Sony Theater System 6 claims to be a 1000-watt sound output system. This is a typical claim from many such systems around this price range. The 1000-watt power is delivered by Sony"s proprietary S-Master Digital amplifier which claims to give "big, dynamic sound in a sleek package."
Unfortunately, Sony has not broken up the power draw of each of the drivers in parts so we do not have specific information about the power output break-up.
Obviously, unlike a stereo system, the surround speakers will output nowhere near the SPL (sound pressure level) as the front speakers, and that is how surround sound processing technically works, the surrounds are not there to overwhelm the front speakers, the sound still needs to come from the front to make sound-stage and imaging correct.
