Aloha! I've been watching the forum for a few months for pointers while I plan my upgrade from a vile HTIB to a ML system. Has anyone needed to add a dedicated power circuit to run their systems? I've looked, but haven't seen much discussion on the amount of current (amperage) required; lots of discussion of amplifier matching and requirements, but the discussions seem to end at the power conditioner. I'm more interested in what's needed at the wall outlet -- will I need to add a dedicated power circuit?
Here's what I'm planning:
Speakers: Vantages (2) Script I (2) Cinema I (1) -- may add a sub if needed
Processor/amp: Parasound C1/A51
Power conditioner: APC S15
Display: Sony 36 WEGA XBR [old-school, I know ]
Odds and ends: Denon 3910 DVD player, Am. Scientific 8300 DVR.
I don't play it loud, but that's not the critical issue. I don't plan to run anything but the above off one circuit (a 20-amp line) -- no lights, computer, blenders and the Scripts will plug into a separate circuit. Adding a 20-amp drop line will be a small consideration, but not huge -- question is, will I need to? Your thoughts are welcomed. Cheers!
