Can you get a Dual Mono sound by using two AVRs?

Sansui AU-517 and AU-717 were one transformer per channel.

AU 717:

Yamaha PC-5002M power amplifier

500 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo), 1500 watts into 8Ω (mono)

correct that H/K uses an all channels driven test to rate their receivers, however, bench tests do provide some interesting data:

H/K AVR330
$799, rated power: 55 watts ACD (seven channels), 65 watts two channels driven.
https://support.harmankardon.com/on...t/dw911f9d11/pdfs/AVR 330,CP 30^HK^om^^^^.pdf
Bench test: one channel: 95 watts, five channels: 66 watts.
(and it went into protection mode when being tested for 4 ohms )

Denon AVR-2307CI
$800, rated power: 100 watts two channels driven (out of seven).
Bench test: one channel: 140 watts, five channels: 86 watts.
(no trouble driving 4 ohms)

Onkyo TX-SR504
$300, rated power: 75 watts two channels driven (out of seven).
Bench test: five channels: 72 watts.
(and can drive 4 ohms)
