Power Circuit Recommendations

[bpassman]

Hi,

I'm planning on having the following gear, and would like recommendations on installing the right type/number of power circuits.

Planned in the Rack
Pre/Pro - Anthem AVM60
Amp#1 - Emotiva XPA-7 Gen 2
Amp#2 - Emotiva XPA-5 Gen 2
Oppo 103D
Verizon FiOS cable box
APC Home Theater Power Center

My initial thoughts are that 1 20A circuit would work, but since I'm running cable and installing breakers....maybe 2 circuits?

What size fuse or circuit breaker does each Emotiva have.
I don't think that Emotive understands the difference between Power and Voltage.

So they got lucky when they designed all of their equipment?

Hmm, there's nothing on the back or in the manual about a fuse/breaker. Just that they auto sense the voltage.

Put the amps on their own dedicated circuit if possible. Hey, if you can swing it, put each amp on their own 20-amp circuit and the rest on a regular 15 amp. However, if you're running subs, you should have the subs on their own circuit as well.

Then again, this is all highly dependent on what SPL's and/or volumes you plan on listening to. Every plan to listen at reference for movies or just really loud for music? Got any bass heavy stuff in mind?
