Mitch,
In my system I have a dedicated 20 amp circuit for my home theater set-up. I have an Anthem 5 channel amplifier, dedicated subwoofer and 3 powered Definitive Technology speakers. This along with all the other electronics including a pre-amp, plasma tv, vcr, dvd player, cd player, cable box, a second multi channel amp for zone 2 cause no problems at all.
I believe that I am using the Monster HTS-2600 and everything plugs in to this piece. I am not at home right now, and I may be wrong about the model number, but it was about $500.00. For the item's power cords that would not reach I purchased a very nice 4-outlet high quality extension from Signal Cable. Very nice, but not too over the top price wise. They also make awesome but very affordable signal and speaker cables.
I do not think that you should experience any problems. Some of it may depend, if you do not have a dedicated circuit, on what else that circuit breaker is powering. But I doubt that unless it has much current draw that it will present a problem.
I would not send the LFE info to the CLR-2500 center. Just configure it as large and send the LFE to the two main speakers which will require one split which is very easy to do. I am using a separate subwoofer so I just have all of mine configured as large and it works VERY well. I have the same center and love it.
Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
Buddy
