Sorry for not noticing the two March posts before now. I've been a bit of s stranger to the Outlaw Forum of late.

It is a testament to whoever wired my house that it handles the load imposed on it by my gear. The biggest concern is when all of the amps are switched on initially. I use a single industrial-grade heavy-duty power strip to switch them all on at once. Other than a momemtary sag in line voltage (ie. barely noticeable dimming of lights) as th amps' caps charge up, there's nothing else to note. (The previous less-than-industrial-grade strip arc-welded itself to death during its final start-up!)

Even at the loudest tolerable levels that the system is capable of delivering (and I value my hearing too much to try it very often or for very long) the continuous output / draw of all amps combined is not a problem. I've never measured it however.

In fact the room can stay nice and toasty warm on a cold winter night when a good action flick is on!

ps. A few recent gear updates: sat gear replaced with cable HD PVR; faulty Velodyne sub was replaced - back up to four subs; old DVD player (and older CD player) replaced with 5 disc Sony DVD/SACD; Dazzle 150 added to capture analogue A/V output on computer network via USB 2.0 connection.
