Most Powerful Amplifier Ever Built?
I demo'ed some years back at the New York Audio Show (actually held in Brooklyn that year) using the Naim Statement, which was brand new at the time. Here's how they spec the mono blocks: 746W into 8 ohms, 1450W into 4 ohms, 9kW burst power into 1 ohm. I love the 9KW burst spec. Let's just call...- DaveC951

Dedicated circuit for each outlet pair?
Not exactly, the single phase 40 or 50 amp breaker you buy is a single width breaker, just like all the other narrow 120v breakers in your panel. SO you only need to remove one.- DaveC951

All sub-panels are, as the name implies, a "sub" off a "main". So the configuration is a breaker in the main panel that feeds the sub-panel. Being more specific, the 40 or 50 amp breaker goes in your main panel. Then HEAVY cable from the main panel to the sub-panel (separate discussion on size...- DaveC951

So you do indeed have a more complex situation, but there is a solution. In your case you're forced into having a sub-panel (a second box of circuit breakers). In this case, you will feed the sub-panel with 120v (single line from your main breaker box on a single breaker, hence on one phase)...- DaveC951

Dedicated circuit for each outlet pair?
Yes & No He is correct in that the best way to draw electricity from the power company, which feeds you 240v, is to draw equally from both 120v rails (phases). Fine. But, that has nothing to do with how you arrange your breakers to accomplish that. In other words, for your stereo, the best is...- DaveC951

Dedicated circuit for each outlet pair?
Just to reiterate in case it has gotten lost in the thread: For those not installing a separate sub-panel, please be sure all audio system breakers are on the same phase. In general, this means the breakers for the audio outlets must be every-other slot. I ran 4 outlets (digital, analog...- DaveC951
