A comment from Bill in Texas this morning reminded me of a really cool experiment he did a few months ago. It was done with a 770 rather than seven 200's, but the difference there is largely semantics. Check out his December 26 post a little more than half-way down. He has his entire system on one circuit, and took measurements at standby, everything on with no source playing, and then at a couple of different volume levels. The summary was this:

Quote:
Ok, at -10dB with everything running the load was only 6.5 amps. At freaking the cats and wife 00dB my system only musters a 10.2 amp draw. Of which .7 amps is the sub that isn't going through the panamax.
