Hi; I placed an order for three 200M's for my front stage (Polk RTi12 mains, Polk CSi5 Center); will use my Denon 3803 as pre, and feed the sides and backs directly from the denon.

I hope you can help me answer a couple of questions re the installation.

1.-Power Consumption: I saw that each 200M can go up to 600W; I am planning to plug the three to a dedicated 20A circuit...but the manual recommends to have each in a 15 A circuit... What is the normal approach? Should I really get each in a dedicated circuit??

2.-Never had an amplifier, so this question is very basic.....what cables should I use for the input? Analog or Digital?

Thanks!!

Rick.

1. The amps do not each require a dedicated circuit. Having all three on a 20A circuit is plenty of power - more, in fact, than the three can use even at peak output.

2. You'll want to use analog interconnects between your Denon and the M200's.

Enjoy 'em!

One more question; reading some threads saw one that says that the 200's do not need surge protection...Is this right? Can they go directly to the outlet without risking them?

Thanks!!

HT,
I have a 3805 and Axiom M80ti (95 db eff). Other forums, Av123, Axiom question how much benefit I'll get from M200's or any 200 wpc amp. What was your deciding factor?
Thanks

IMO ... always surge protect!

I asked this question to Outlaw when I bought mine.They told me that is does not require one due to there in an internal one or something like that.....I have the same 3 front speakes as you and you will love the Monoblocks.They will wake up your Polks.

I hadn't seen that about the surge protect on the M200. Any literature on that?

Truth is, a lightning strike can fry through almost anything, but is rare. Tripp-Lite is a good way to inexpensively add some protection to the amps, even if it is redundant.

I agree. I'd rather be redundant and fry a surge protector than chance the amp.
